Monologues are located on the Basement level. Monologues, and other pieces, from different plays are often grouped together in anthologies for a specific gender, type of scene performance, or time limit. For example, you may find monologues for women, men, two people, that last two minutes, 60 seconds, or that take place in a hospital!
Most monologues can be found in the Basement in the following Call No. range: PN 2080. If you want to search for monologues in the catalog, do a "subject words" search for "monologues". We also have several indexes of monologues:
Guide to monologues, men : an index of over 800 monologues from classical and modern plays
Guide to monologues, women : an index of over 800 monologues from classical and modern plays
Another way to find monologues is to look for playscripts. Playscripts are also useful if you are directing scenes or plays.
Since our playscripts are not in one area, the best way to look up plays is by going to through FrogScholar. Note: This will only get you playscripts. It will not get you anthologies or other materials with plays included.
1. Go to FrogScholar and click Catalog. Search playscript
2. Click Advanced Search
3. Select Library Catalog. Next, use the filter menu and select Genre. Click search, and the results will be playscripts only.
