Competition Material

What time is it? It’s competition time - monologues, scenes, and one acts.

The season is nearing (perhaps it’s looming) or maybe you’re hiding under your pillow in complete denial. You need material for your students and if you have to sit through the same monologues one more time… Who knows, but it won’t be pretty.

Do not fear. Don’t fear the reaper and don’t fear the search for competition material. We’re here to help.

Monologues and Scenes Plays for Competition Helpful Hints for Competition Preparing for Competition Royalty Information

The pieces in our monologue and scene collections all come from published plays (they all can be found at theatrefolk.com if you want to read the whole play). Each selection gives you an approximate running time, a description, and staging suggestions.

Middle School Teacher? Check out the Stand Alone collections. Most are middle school appropriate and those that we think are on the edge are clearly identified.
