Rainy Day Artistic Collective is planning our fall monologue showcase - this year it will be Halloween themed (like our very first monologue showcase was) and we're looking forward to bringing that back.
It will have one livestreamed performance in October (exact date TBD) and be 100% Virtual.
Though we will be putting out a call for actors this summer, we need some monologues to work with first!
If you're interested in submitting a monologue to be considered for this showcase, please review the guidelines below:
Submission Guidelines:
Submissions can only feature one speaker.
We have included poetry and short stories in past showcases, but typically prefer to feature theatrical monologues.
Each monologue must be approximately 2-5 minutes in length.
Piece(s) must be inspired by Halloween in some way - scary or cute, happy or sad, dramatic or comedic, let your imagination run wild!
Excerpts from longer works are acceptable, but they should be able to be performed as standalone monologues with minimal to no additional context required for the audience.
Tech needs should be simple - keep it livestream friendly. Some sound cues are okay (even encouraged, if it fits the mood). We can also use virtual backgrounds to enhance/suggest the setting.
No more than two pieces submitted per playwright, please! Joint authorship of a piece counts towards all contributing playwrights.
Please list any content warnings in your submission.
We are not able to offer stipends for selected playwrights/pieces, but this event is also 100% free for any audience member to watch.
The deadline for submissions will be June 10th, 2026 at 11:59pm PST - no pieces submitted after that will be considered. Please send your submissions to rainydayrevue@gmail.com.
