The monologue library · Browse by gender flexibility
3 free monologues in this slice of the library — read, print, and perform at no cost. Attribution is the only requirement.
Fully gender-flexible (works for any performer without rewriting), gender-specific as written, or either (the text specifies gender but adapts cleanly without changing meaning).
About this facet
A small slice of the library: the pieces the FreeSchoolPlays data marks as written for a specific performer rather than cast flexibly. Still free to read, print, and perform, with the same single-credit-line requirement as the rest of the catalog.
FreeSchoolPlays casts flexibly wherever the script allows it -- the live site's own staging posture is flexible, often gender-neutral roles, stageable from a full auditorium down to a classroom corner. A piece is only marked gender-specific when the script itself is written for a specific performer; nothing here is relaxed or tightened by this page.
Little Red tells her mother about a very strange walk to Grandmama's -- the huffy wolf, the three little pigs, a huntsman with a dented axe, and a surprise waiting at the end. A comic solo monologue for one performer.
The same story from the Big Bad Wolf's side: brunch plans, a nap in Grandmama's bed, the huntsman's axe, and a very warm place to wake up. A punchy comic monologue that pairs with The Red Monologue.
A director's set of vocal and diction warm-ups -- tongue twisters, vowel drills, and rhythm exercises to run with your cast before a read-through or a show. A rehearsal resource, free to use.
Forensics eligibility classifications are illustrative only -- not official NSDA, NCFL, or UIL certifications. Always verify with your event's published rules before competing. Length is estimated at roughly 150 words per minute from the source text; actual performance time varies with pace and blocking.
