    About this ebook

    *"monos" is short for "monologues." These 72 monologues have 100-200 words, perfect for short performance pieces in class, in a talent show, or in the living room. There's a variety of genres, none too serious, ranging from contemporary to sci-fi to fantasy. The topics are an eclectic assortment, appealing to many interests. For instance, there's The Chef, a child TV star who makes unique cookies; the kid who's called a butt who finds a hilarious way to diffuse the situation; and who hasn't asked, "Where's the remote?" Here are some of the titles of the monologues: Algebra, Yuck; Blood; Candy Store; Destroy the Invaders; Football; Grocery Shopping; I Just Want Chocolate; In Trouble for Talking; Me Vs The Fly; No Chocolate for Me; Pirate Treasure; Running; The Secret Frog; The Shampoo of Death; Trivia for Sale; Zap. The book also includes a few basic stage terms, tips for performing monologues and tips for memorizing.

    Author

    Marian Scadden

    Marian Scadden reads a lot, and likes to write in theater-esque and other genres, such as Young Adult fantasy, Middle Grade stuff, and Picture Books. She loves playing board games with her family, especially when she wins. Marian graduated in Children's Theatre from Brigham Young University decades ago, more or less. Writing books and plays is not quite as long as that. She started writing plays so she wouldn't have to pay royalties when directing them; she started writing picture books to see if she could and she advanced to novels in 2009 when she participated in National Novel Writing Month. It's kind of exciting.

      Some Basic Stage Terms

      STAGE AREAS: The stage is divided into areas to help performers know where to be on certain lines. Although the scripts may have stage directions, you can always choose to do it differently.

      ~DOWN is that part of the stage closest to the audience.

      ~UP is farthest from the audience.

      ~RIGHT and LEFT are from the actor’s viewpoint, as he or she is facing the audience.

      ~CENTER is center of the stage.

      ~From those main areas come the nine stage areas: down right, down center, down left; center right, center, center left; up right, up center, up left. There is also off left and off right, meaning an actor is no longer on stage.

      Tips for Preparing and Performing a Monologue:

      ~Imagine the person you're speaking to. If you're supposed to be speaking to the audience, imagine who they are--friends? enemies? the doorman?

      ~Imagine where you are and the things that are around you.

      ~Create a set by using real objects that are handy, such as, chairs, benches, fake tree, etc.

      ~You can use real objects for props, too, such as, a book, wallet, football, etc.

      ~Be expressive: get mad or happy or sad or just have some attitude as you perform your monologue. Use vocal inflections by making your voice go up or down. Emphasize a word or a sentence.

      ~Movement & Gestures--use them. Don't just stand still while doing a monologue. Walk around the stage; throw your arm out or raise both arms; lie down; spin in a circle; hug yourself; point; sit; stand; jump... Find those actions that work well with your monologue.
