queer monologues<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In this article, we will be gearing all our suggestions from plays towards monologues for queer actors. Until the last century, LQBTQ+ artists and stories were by-and-large hidden, silenced and outlawed within the wider theatre community. Considering many great writers from Tennessee Williams to Lorraine Hansberry to Oscar Wilde to even Shakespeare would today characterize themselves as a part of the queer community, the influence LGTBQ+ voices have had on the history of storytelling is clear and vital. The early 20th century in America saw the beginning of inclusion with works like The Drag by Mae West, though opposed by authorities, playing to great success among NY audiences. Since that time, many plays centering around queer narratives have cemented themselves as pillars of the American Theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve selected some monologues for queer actors from some of these plays, in the hopes that you can use them in an audition room. They are strong, beautiful and complicated pieces and we recommend preparing them in detail before using them. So start today, and when you nail one of these pieces, you\u2019ll be sure that the audition room won\u2019t forget you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Angels ANGELS IN AMERICA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, Joe begs his wife, Harper, to stay with him even though she knows he is attracted to men. They are both Mormons. Age Range: 25-35<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JOE: Stay. We can fix it. I pray for that. I pray for God to crush me, break me up into little pieces and start all over again\u2026I had a book of Bible stories when I was a kid. There was a picture I\u2019d look at twenty times every day: Jacob wrestles with the angel. I don\u2019t really remember the story, or why the wrestling\u2014just the picture. Jacob is young and very strong. The angel is . . . a beautiful man, with golden hair and wings, of course. I still dream about it. Many nights. I\u2019m . . . It\u2019s me. In that struggle. Fierce, and unfair. The angel is not human, and it holds nothing back, so how could anyone human win, what kind of a fight is that? It\u2019s not just. Losing means your soul thrown down in the dust, your heart torn out from God\u2019s. But you can\u2019t not lose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Angels ANGELS IN AMERICA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, Louis refuses to believe that his lover, Joe, works for nefarious Lawyer, Roy Cohn. His friend, Belize, has shared this info. He also confides his regret over leaving his sick partner, Prior. Age Range: 25-35<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOUIS: You have always hated me. Because you are in love with Prior and you were when I met him and he fell in love with me, and so now you cook up this . . . I mean how do you know this? That Joe and Roy Cohn are\u2014 I don\u2019t believe you. Not . . . Roy Cohn. Joe wouldn\u2019t\u2014Not Roy Cohn. He\u2019s, he\u2019s like the polestar of human evil, he\u2019s like the worst human being who ever lived, the, the damage he\u2019s done, the years and years of, of . . . criminality, that whole era, that\u2014 Give me fucking credit for something, please, some little moral shred of, of, of something, OK sure I fucked up, I fucked up everything, I didn\u2019t want to, to face what I needed to face, what life was insisting I face but I don\u2019t know, I\u2019ve always, I\u2019ve always felt you had to, to take action, not sit, not to be, to be trapped, um, stuck, paralyzed by\u2014 Even if it\u2019s hard, or really terrifying, or even if it does damage, you have to keep moving, um, forward, instead of\u2014 I can\u2019t just, you know, sit around feeling shit, or feeling like shit, I . . . cry way too easily, I fall apart, I\u2019m no good unless I, I strike out at\u2014 Which is easy because I\u2019m so fucking furious at my\u2014 So I fucked up spectacularly, totally, I\u2019ve ruined my life, and his life, I\u2019ve hurt him so badly but but still, even I, even I am not so utterly lost inside myself that I\u2014 I wouldn\u2019t, um, ever, like, sleep with someone who . . . someone who\u2019s Roy Cohn\u2019s . . . Oh no. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Angels ANGELS IN AMERICA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, Prior defends the future of humanity and his own life against the proposition of the angels that the world is coming to an inevitably depressing end. Age Range: 25-35<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRIOR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t just stop. We\u2019re not rocks. Progress, migration, motion is . . . modernity. It\u2019s animate<\/em>, it\u2019s what living things do. We desire. Even if all we desire is stillness, it\u2019s still desire for. (On \u201cfor\u201d he makes a motion with his hand: starting one place, moving forward) <\/em>Even if we go faster than we should. We can\u2019t wait<\/em>. And wait for what? God\u2014 God\u2014He isn\u2019t coming back. And even if He did . . .If He ever did come back, if He ever dared <\/em>to show His face, or his Glyph or whatever in the Garden again. If after all this destruction, if after all the terrible days of this terrible century He returned to see . . . how much suffering His abandonment had created, if all He has to offer is death . . .You should sue <\/em>the bastard. That\u2019s my only contribution to all this Theology<\/em>. Sue the bastard for walking out. How dare He. He oughta pay\u2026I want more life. I can\u2019t help myself. I do. I\u2019ve lived through such terrible times, and there are people who live through much much worse, but . . .You see them living anyway. When they\u2019re more spirit than body, more sores than skin, when they\u2019re burned and in agony, when flies lay eggs in the corners of the eyes of their children, they live. Death usually has to take <\/em>life away. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s just the animal. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s not braver to die. But I recognize the habit. The addiction to being alive. We live past hope. If I can find hope anywhere, that\u2019s it, that\u2019s the best I can do. It\u2019s so much not enough, so inadequate but . . . Bless me anyway. I want more life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Angels ANGELS IN AMERICA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, Belize responds to Louis\u2019 fanatic breakdown and picks apart his thin ideology. Age Range: 25-35<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BELIZE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what your problem is, Louis? Your problem is that you are so full of piping hot crap that the mention of your name draws flies. You don\u2019t even know Thing One about this guy, do you? Uh-huh. Well ain\u2019t that pathetic. Just so the record\u2019s straight: I love Prior but I was never in love with him. I have a man, uptown, and I have since long <\/em>before I first laid my eyes on the sorry-ass sight of you\u2014No \u2019cause you never bothered to ask. Up in the air, just like that angel, too far off the earth to pick out the details. Louis and his Big Ideas. Big Ideas are all you love. \u201cAmerica\u201d is what Louis loves. Well I hate America, Louis. I hate this country. It\u2019s just big ideas, and stories, and people dying, and people like you. The white cracker who wrote the National Anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word \u201cfree\u201d to a note so high nobody can reach it. That was deliberate. Nothing on earth sounds less like freedom to me. You come with me to room 1013 over at the hospital, I\u2019ll show you America. Terminal, crazy and mean. I live <\/em>in America, Louis, that\u2019s hard enough, I don\u2019t have to love it. You do that. Everybody\u2019s got to love something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The THE NORMAL HEART<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, Tommy memorializes his friend Nick after he dies of AIDS. Age Range: 30s-40s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOMMY: I have this tradition. It\u2019s something I do now when a friend dies. I save his Rolodex card. What am I supposed to do, throw it away in the trash can? I won\u2019t do that. No, I won\u2019t. It\u2019s too final. Last year I had five cards. Now I have fifty. A collection of cardboard tombstones bound together with a rubber band. I hate these fucking funerals, I really do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you know what else I hate? I hate the memorials. That\u2019s our social life now, going to these things. Nick was a choreographer; not many of you knew that. He was just starting out, he didn\u2019t tell a lot of people. He was waiting to invite you to his big debut at Carnegie Hall or some shit so we could all be proud of him. But he was so good. He had such promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re losing an entire generation. Young men, at the beginning, just gone. Choreographers, playwrights, dancers, actors. All those plays that won\u2019t get written now. All those dances, never to be danced. In closing, I\u2019m just gonna say I\u2019m mad. I\u2019m fucking mad. I keep screaming inside, \u201cwhy are they letting us die? Why is no one helping us?\u201d And here\u2019s the truth, here\u2019s the answer: They just don\u2019t like us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"THE THE INHERITANCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, Eric bemoans the transactional and thinning support of the modern gay community. Age Range: Late 20s – Early 30s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ERIC: Our culture is being co-opted. I mean, sure it\u2019s great Sean Penn won an Oscar for playing Harvey Milk but American students are still taught nothing about queer history. It feels like we\u2019re getting stripped for parts and the inside is hollowing out. It feels like the community that I came up in is slowly fading away. When was the last time any of us actually hung out at a gay bar? (Pause) My point exactly! Gay bars used to be safe spaces for people like us to be ourselves and to find others like us. Now everyone just goes on to Grindr. But what about thr twenty-year-old kid who\u2019s not looking for sex, but rather for community, for a connection with something that helps him understand himself? Or the sixty-year-old man who\u2019s looking for the same? What happens to that shared culture? If being gay only describes who we love and who we fuck but not also how we encounter the world, then gay culture and gay community would start to disappear. And we still need that community. Because this country is still filled with people who hate us with vengeful, murderous fanaticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"THE THE INHERITANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, Toby takes down his boyfriend, Eric, for living a life of privilege.Age Range: Late 20s – Early 30s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOBY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200b\u200bThat is bullshit, Eric. What you \u2018gave\u2019 me? You didn\u2019t give me anything. I built my life from the ground up. I didn\u2019t get to do it from the comfortable middle-class perch that you did. Oh fuck off! I am so sick of your holier-than-thou, thoughtful, sweet and kind fucking bullshit. You act like you\u2019re above the fray, can\u2019t be touched, fucking Yale, fucking Fieldston, fucking save the world by strongly worded Facebook post, when secretly you\u2019re just as manipulative and as self-involved and as frightened as the rest of us. But you slap on this veneer of middle-class perfection and you think that protects you from having to be a real person. But real people are ugly, Eric. Real people are compromised. Real people disappoint each other. Because the world is ugly and compromised and disappointing. And I\u2019m sorry I can\u2019t be perfect like you. I was never given that option. I have no choice but to be a real person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"THE THE INHERITANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, Eric picks apart his boyfriend, Toby, for hiding his personal truth behind art. Age Range: Late 20s – Early 30s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ERIC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve become so good at spinning people you think you can spin me, too. But I know that your book was a fraud from start to finish and your play was even worse. Not without talent, of course. God forbid anyone should accuse you of that. But worse: without truth. Toby, you are so afraid of actually being known \u2013 of really looking at yourself \u2013 that you have spent the last decade of your life constructing this elaborate narrative that has nothing to do with the truth. What happened to you as a child was unconscionable and it hurts me every single day to know that it did. But that was not the great tragedy of your life, Toby. No, the great tragedy of your life was denying that it was<\/em> your life, and insisting on another at the expense of the truth. I know who you are, Toby. And I know who you aren\u2019t. You aren\u2019t Elan. And you aren\u2019t Adam. It\u2019s why you gave him the job and it\u2019s why you want to fuck him so badly. Because he is everything you will never be. I couldn\u2019t even look at you after I saw your play. Because it was a betrayal of the frightened little boy you once were. And soon all of New York is going to see it and I will be the only one who\u2019ll remember who you really are. And that\u2019s why you want to get as far away from me as possible: because I would remind you every day of what a fraud you are and what wasted potential your life has become. And that\u2019s what you\u2019re too much of a coward to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"THE THE INHERITANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, Toby leaves a scathing message for his cheating lover and lead actor in his play, Adam. Age Range: Late 20s – Early 30s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOBY: You would be nothing without me, do you understand? You would be nothing without this part. I gave you this chance, I\u2019m the one who made it happen. Me. It wasn\u2019t Tom and his magical fifty-year-old Viagra dick, which by now I\u2019m sure has given you herpes. I will never speak to you again, I don\u2019t ever even want to look at you again. And when you win the Tony for this role, which you will, it will be because of me and the part that I\u2019ve written. So if you don\u2019t thank me in your acceptance speech \u2013 and I mean, like really lick my ass \u2013 I will make sure that everyone knows how you betrayed me and what a back-stabbing, malicious, cock-teasing little Eve Harrington you are. And just for the record: Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Ben Platt and Lucas Hedges all passed on this part before we offered it to you. So you should probably thank them in your Tony speech, too. So in conclusion: fuck you, Adam. I wish I\u2019d never met you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cock COCK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this monologue, John speaks to his female and male lovers, uncertain of who is supposed to be when he is attracted to both. Age Range: 30 -35<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JOHN: I\u2019m sorry I\u2019m not speaking, I\u2019m sorry, I know it\u2019s weird but I\u2019m trying to work out how to handle this who to be because I\u2019m two different people with the two of you when you\u2019re separate and now I\u2019m in the middle and no one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have absolutely no idea who I am. Everyone else seems to have a personality, a character but I\u2019ve never, I\u2019ve never \u2013 I used to do voices, I remember this, and I don\u2019t think anyone can really understand it when I say it but I remember one moment when I couldn\u2019t think what was my own voice, I\u2019d been doing high voices and northern voices and men\u2019s voices and impressions of the teachers and my dad, and people on the telly and everyone was laughing and I tried to go back to my own voice but I couldn\u2019t remember what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I always stand in front of the mirror for ages, every day I never know what to wear, when I go shopping for clothes I bring him and he says it\u2019s up to you, what do you like, and I think I don\u2019t know I don\u2019t have a fucking clue just choose something that isn\u2019t too strange, that means I don\u2019t look like a fucking idiot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
