Monologue Competition

Monologue Competition 2024

This year's monologue competition will be held at Sacred Heart Academy in Hamden on December 7th.

Whether you are an old or returning CDA member, or not even a CDA member, please join us for this special state-wide event. Students should prepare one monologue of no more than 2 minutes in length from a published play. Students will be broken up into two groups so each student will perform their monologue at least two times for two different sets of adjudicators who will provide written feedback. 

Win or lose this is an excellent opportunity for your students to prepare for both college and professional auditions.

Adjudicators will award up to twelve students whose monologues they find to be exemplary. Those recognized will perform their monologues for the entire group.

Everyone is welcome! You do not need to be a CDA member to participate, but you do need to sign up!

Registration is $10/student for Member Schools, $15/student for Non-Member Schools.

Rules:

1. Monologues must be from a published play

2. Monologues must be no longer than 2 minutes in order to be eligible to win

3. Monologue content must meet the standards of the school the student attends

4. No use of props or costumes other than a chair (provided).
