Q. How do I find a monologue in a play? I need it for my acting class.

There are several ways to locate a monologue:

You might start by finding a play that you like and reading it to find monologues. 

1.  Try searching the Library Catalog, found on the homepage, using Advanced Search. 

• Type "monologues" in the first box AND "acting" in the second box.  
• You can limit by using the suggestions to the right of the results. 

2.  You may also try Play Index, found in the Databases A-Z link. 

3.  The Theatre and Dance Library guide also has resources for locating plays both in print and online. 

• The Drama Online Library allows you to search for full text monologues as well as plays of a certain length or number of roles.
