Original Monologue Contest & Fundraiser
Talking Horse (Columbia MO) is once again looking for original monologues from writers to be performed online for a special fundraising campaign.
Our audience will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite piece and the winner will receive a cash prize!*
What do we mean by monologue?
In theatre and literature, a monologue is an extended speech by one character in a story. In theatre, it typically includes the verbal delivery of a character’s thoughts or speech to another character.
The 2022 Original Monologue Contest entry should be three to seven minutes in length and may include any topic.
Who can participate?
This contest is open to any writer and actor. Monologues will be recorded and shared via our website and social media. Also, any fan, member or interested party (audience) can participate in the judging!
How can I get involved?
ACTORS AND WRITERS – Register today to participate in our third season at: https://forms.gle/JqVEDcceZR1apPJAA
WRITERS – Following registration: submit your original monologue (3 to 7 minutes in length) concerning any topic of your choice to thpmonologue@gmail.com with the subject line "ORIGINAL MONOLOGUE CONTEST - SUBMISSION."
The entry must be the sole original work of the person submitting the written monologue. With the submission, the writer confirms ownership and control of the original work.
Entries should be formatted for easy reading following the style guidelines defined by the Dramatists Guild of America modern play format.
Monologues will be recorded and shared via our website and social media. All submissions are due JULY 20, 2022.
