As an actress, I always had a tough time finding monologues that would suit me, weren’t overused, were interesting, but most of all, that were truly funny!

Creating characters that were usually based on real women who made me laugh or cry, I present strong women whose voices are not usually heard, contemporary women living complex, contemporary lives. I also address subject matters that are not commonly talked about, but exist in multitudes.

These women don’t only exist in their homes with men, but in department stores, beauty parlors, trailer parks, tennis courts, taxicabs, offices and even dungeons!

I wrote Fe-monologues to provide actesses with strong material for auditions and performance. The characters are from all walks of life, nationalities, and a range of different ages.

A few pieces are meant strictly for performance. Some of them would be enhanced with other characters walking in and out of the scenario, reacting to what they are saying. There are a few that are very broad, some are stark, but most are a very realistic combination of humor and drama.

If you are interested in getting a copy of Fe-monologues, please email me!

Here are two pieces from Fe-monologues:

I have the biggest crush on my gynecologist, and it’s terrible because I don’t tell him everything that’s wrong with me. I don’t want to gross him out. I go in there trying to look attractive, “Hi Dr. Marcus!” Meanwhile I’ve got a cyst the size of New Jersey.

It’s embarrassing because he’s so cute, but it just doesn’t feel right to ask him out. What would we do on our first date? I mean, it’s tough to back to holding hands with a man who’s just scraped your uterus. I don’t know… Do you think I should ask him out?
