http://janetstigermonologuemania.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_2.htmlMonologue Mania - Blurbs  by Janet S. Tiger  © 2014  all rights reserved

This page has a (constantly growing) list of all the monologues completed during this year (and now beyond).  As of today, it covers from Feb. 13, 2014 (the start) to
 November 17, 2015  (I sometimes run behind on the days....and the blurbs -okay, sometimes WAY behind on the blurbs!-  but the titles and links are mostly current, and most of them go to the right place!  And right now, I am way over the 365 for one year - and still going strong.  It's like an addiction to writing monologues)

A brief blurb will give you an idea of the piece, and if you click on the title  it will take you to a page with the complete monologue, sometimes along with some background – and if possible, I will include staging suggestions.  My earlier monologues have been tried out, have won prizes, been produced, so there is a charge - if you want a collection that includes my earlier work please check out MONOLOGUEZONE.com or for a lot of my work- www.PlaysByJanetSTiger.com
