Fighting for My Self and If These Walls Could Talk

 

There’s nothing like some heavy drama or softly revealing inner dialogue to show off those acting chops.  With today’s two monologues, we’re offering a little of both!

In Fighting for My Self, Juanita’s eulogy at a friend’s untimely funeral is a deep character study full of grief, anger, and disbelief.  Through Juanita’s memories of her friend, we are left to share in her sadness and mistrust of a world that can at times be full of cruel injustices.

Stanley’s monologue from If These Walls Could Talk is a more subtle look at the insecurities of a teen boy who sees his varsity jacket as a token of his worth.  Stanley worries that, without it, he’ll be “nothing special.”

Teachers, both of these plays are chock-full of deeply emotional and insightful monologues and short scenes that might really touch a nerve with students — especially now, at a time when we are all feeling emotions that are new or even scary to us.  These monologues are a stark reminder that we’re all vulnerable, and that all of us process our feelings differently.

As a reminder, here are our updated guidelines for Monologue Mania!  if you or any of your students wish to record and share their performance.  We’d love to see them!

  • Perform the memorized Pioneer monologue either with or without costumes and/or props.
  • Email your video to monologues@pioneerdrama.com or choose your favorite social media platform (Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook) to post your video using the hashtags #pioneerdrama and #monologuemania so we’re sure to see it. 
  • Uploading the video and tagging it with #pioneerdrama gives Pioneer Drama Service explicit permission to share the entire video on our own social media platforms. 
  • The video must start with the following:
    • The performer’s first name
    • The full name of the play
    • The full name of the playwright(s)
    • “Published by Pioneer Drama Service”
    • A short introduction to set the scene.  For many plays, this can be done in just one or two lines.
    • Do NOT include your full name or any school name or location since we want to protect everyone’s privacy.
