So you decided to listen to the conservatory theater? Well, first of all, congratulations on your wise and professional graduation. But it is one thing to establish a conservatory, but for one act, well, that is quite another. Every conservatory has a unique admissions process, but they all have one major thing in common – you’ll have to do a monologue. Whichever theater program you plan to attend, you will have to audition to be officially accepted into the school. But what are good conservatory theater monologues? Well, below I’ve listed some amazing monologues for you to consider when auditioning for theater conservatory. They’re broken down by classic monologues (for men and for women), contemporary monologues (for men and for women) and some miscellaneous tips that will help with your audition.
Classic Monologues for Men:
· Jacques Monologue: I love you, William Shakespeare. (Act 2, Scene 7
o ” Every stage of the world, and all men and women mere players…”
· Doctor Faustus Monologue: Tragic Histories Doctor Faustus, by Christopher Marlowe. p > · Cleante Monologue: Tartuffe, Moliere. p>
Contemporary Monologues for Men:
· Theo Monologue: Three Days of Rain, Richard Greenberg.
o ” To me it all happened You know those moments? No work, pure vision: Emerson in I.R.T. “I would never have destroyed myself for this woman. I would have eaten garbage. I wish she would have opened my hands. Under the law…”
· Previous Monologue: Angels in America, Tony Kushner.
o “But still. Still. Bless me anyway. I want more life.” I can’t help myself. I. /p>
· Phebe Monologue: As I love thee, William Shakespeare (Act 3, Scene 5
o ” I would not through your torture. I flee you, for I would not hurt you. You kill me long it is in my eyes….”
· Dido Monologue: Dido, Queen of Carthage, Christopher Marlowe
o ” These are the veils that bear me unwillingly Had Aeneas been packed by the winds? Contemporary Monologues for Women: Monica Monologue: Skinny, Monica Hesse They call me “thin” and (my personal favorite) small-boned.

o “Where have you been? You weren’t at dinner. You said we should talk during dinner. You weren’t there…”
These are some of my favorite monologues. Remember, always read the whole story before even thinking about doing a monologue for the conservatory. This is because, one, you need to know such perfectly, then they will ask you about the story, and if you do not know what to say it will take you to the whole monologue so you can read it in its entirety.
