"Above the Earth" poetic acting monologue for male or female solo poem script for actor

"ABOVE THE EARTH"
1 minute poetic monologue
by D. M. Larson

Copyright (c) 2017 All Rights Reserved



***
Watching the world from above,

Floating above the clouds

Billions of voices are merely whispers now

Everything is so small,

Problems too far away to see

Peaceful and silent in the nothingness of space

Spinning, spinning, lost in the clouds

The details of life, forgotten and turning away

Turning a blind eye to the worries of the world

Floating calmly above the storm

"Second Soul" short acting monologue for male or female solo script for actor

"SECOND SOUL"
1 minute monologue
by D. M. Larson

Copyright (c) 2017 All Rights Reserved

***

In weakness, we find strength. The walls must crumble before we advance. The darkness finds us before we seek out the light.



True strength comes from loss. The only reason I know a good life now, is from the pain of my past. I was ruined from within and stripped to my final shreds of life. But I was given a second chance to live again, to rise up and be reborn. Burned pure by the fire, I rise on the wings of my second soul.

by D. M. Larson
from the published play "Losers in Love"
  ISBN: 9781549653186

I saw it! A ghost! Upstairs! I did. It was floating around all spooky like. I think it touched me. I got all cold and shivery. I wanted to scream but when I opened my mouth all I could manage was a little squeak. I was frozen with fear. I thought it was gonna eat my brains or something. Oh, wait. That’s zombies, ain’t it? Well, it was gonna do whatever ghosts do to me. I could feel it doing something… something real creepy like. You wanna go see it? Or are you too scared? You ain’t as brave as me.

(Looks down)

Hey! No, I did not! I spilled a drink on myself, okay? I am not a liar! You go up there and see for yourself. Up there is an honest to goodness, real scary, ghost. I may have lived to tell about it. Will you?!

"The Joke Killer" short acting monologue for male or female 1 minute solo script for actor

"THE JOKE KILLER"
1 minute monologue
by D. M. Larson

Copyright (c) 2017 All Rights Reserved




***
It’s so hard to be funny. I can’t even tell jokes right. When I hear something funny, I try to remember it, but then it comes out wrong. There’s nothing better than making people laugh. Laughter really is the best medicine. A good joke can change a sad, dark or tense moment into a tolerable one. Something funny can turn my day around. I want to do that for other people too.



And on those rare occasion where I am funny, I ruin it somehow. I don’t know when to stop. I can’t let a joke linger and spread it’s good will. I have to shovel it deep and spread it like manure. If it’s funny once, it will be funny over and over again right? Wrong. But I never learn. I’m the joke killer. That should be my superpower… joke killing. Don’t let me near something funny, okay? You don’t want humor to fall into the wrong hands. These hands will use and abuse it.

HANK
Okay, I have another compliment for you. The reason I gave you that magic coin is because of all the things you could wish for in this world, you wanted to help those people out there. And I really believe you would help them. So many people say that stuff because they think they have to. They dream of cars and vacations. Then they throw in helping the homeless as an afterthought. But you thought of others right away. And I see you do nice things around the diner all the time. I think your boss knows about the nice things you do. The extra food for people short on money. The little treats for the kids. Little things like remembering people’s names and listening to them talk. All that makes this a great diner and keeps people like me coming back for more.. And that’s what everyone needs to do. Make their little corner of the world a better place. If we all did that, then things would change for the better.

"Crushing my Competition" short monologue for female actor from published play acting solo script

"CRUSHING MY COMPETITION" monologue for female
from the published play
"The Magic Coin"
by D. M. Larson







Copyright (c) 2017 All Rights Reserved




JULIANNA
Everyone needs to share more. I think I had sharing beaten out of me at an early age. We used to play Monopoly as kids and it brought out the worst in me. I had this terrible desire come over me to win it all and be in total control of the board. I wanted all the money and loved crushing my competition. But all of my brothers and sisters were that way too.  We had so many fights over that game that my dad finally set the board on fire. He tossed it in the fireplace along with all the money. All we had left were the little homes and hotels.

You know what Phil? Maybe I was a little hard on you... you...


(RHONDA sees PHIL on top JULIANA)


RHONDA (CONT.)
What's this?! You're with another woman? I'm gone like 5 seconds and you replaced me? Don't play possum with me. I know you two are just pretending to be passed out… trying sleeping through this.


(RHONDA kicks PHIL)


RHONDA (CONT.)
How you like that! Huh, Phil?  


(She gets worried all the sudden and gasps)


RHONDA (CONT.)
Phil? Is that blood?  Oh no - what am I going to do? I can't have anyone find me with another dead body. What should I do? I'll put them in his car and let it roll off the cliff... that will work... make it look like an accident. No one has to know.


(RHONDA tries to pick up JULIANA)

RHONDA (CONT.)
Wow, this girl is heavy.

"Materialism" monologue for female from a published play sarcastic ironic solo script

"MATERIALISM" monologue for female
from the published play
"Romance on the Rocks"
by D. M. Larson


Copyright (c) 2017 All Rights Reserved

RHONDA
You know what. I'm not sure this is working out for us.

No, don't say anything. I know you're upset, but I need to get this off my chest.  I don't think we're right for each other. Sure, you have money and a cool car, but that's it. There's nothing more to you. And I just don't think I can be with someone so superficial anymore.

I need a guy who thinks more about what I want. You're so caught up in sunsets and books and poetry. I need someone who is caught up in me. I should feel important. What I want should be important to you. So that's why I'm leaving you... Leaving you and that wonderful car of yours. And all that money...

No, please don't tempt me any longer with your materialism. I need to be free. Free to be with someone puts me first and gives me my heart's desire. Goodbye, Phil.

"Breaking Bread" short monologue for male or female actor solo acting script 1 minute

"BREAKING BREAD"
1 minute monologue
by D. M. Larson

Copyright (c) 2017 All Rights Reserved
For permission to use this monologue, contact doug@freedrama.net


***


Nothing good comes from the southside. We’re born bad and everyone here tries to keep it that way. But for some reason, I pray. I pray for a better day. A day when we don’t have to beg or steal our meal. I want us to earn what we need and deserve it. I’m tired of the whining and crying. I will lift myself up and make it better.

I go to church, and hide in the back in my hoodie, hoping no one will recognize me. Nobody here but the oldies and the goodies anyway. I listen, hoping to understand something the priest says. It’s mostly alien to me. My family never went to church much. Just Easter and Christmas, at least until mama died. Then nobody cared anymore after that. Nobody but me.



I want something different now. I want something better. Let me unlock the key to a new life. A life that’s not wasted. I don’t want to waste away here like everyone else. Make me better. Make me matter. Let me make a difference.

"The Bunker" 1 minute short acting monologue for male or female actor solo stage play script

"THE BUNKER"
1 minute monologue
by D. M. Larson

Copyright (c) 2017 All Rights Reserved





***
I never thought we’d have to use the bunker. I thought you were crazy for keeping one. But you kept the food fresh and checked the supplies and made us do drills. And here we are… using it. It’s actually happening. The world has gone nuclear and we might be all that is left. I mean, who has shelters like this anymore? No one thinks this is going to happen. No one thinks any leader is crazy enough to pull the trigger. But someone was crazy enough to do it and lost control. They lost control of everything. Egos with an extra helping of madness. Their pride trumps logic. It’s not about good vs. evil. It’s about who has the bigger bomb. But when everyone has a bigger bomb, then what’s left? Only us?

I don’t know if I want to be left here alone, with no one else. There won’t be much of a world left for us anymore.

I am sorry I was so hard on you. I was a real jerk about this. It turns out you’re not the crazy one. You’re the only sane one left.

Listen to the madness. Listen to a world gone mad.
