           Monologue for ages 9-18 The Puppy By: Morgan Dudek

 Cheryl asked me to watch her puppy, Oscar. I said, “sure no problem.” No problem! I mean, how bad could it be to watch an innocent little puppy?  Right? WRONG! It was a nightmare if there ever was one. Look at me! Do you see the bags under my eyes? This puppy did NOT stop barking and whining all night. But guess what?! When I walked into my kitchen, I found myself sliding all the way across the kitchen and flat dead on my back..dog pee! I’d had it. But it gets worse, he’s torn up my couch! On the bright side, all of this has happened on day one. So, I figure it can’t possibly get worse. 

 

           Monologue for ages 6-8 “Nice Try”

You thought I wouldn’t notice what you did. I bet you even thought you were going to get away with it, didn’t you? Well, I’m not that easily fooled. I thought that looked like an awfully high pile of mashed potatoes on my plate.  So I Iooked, and sure enough, you were hiding broccoli under there!  Nice try, Mom, nice try.

All teen girls/young women trying out for the role of Liesel

       - Sing "I am 16"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAlBNM9IQJ8 

Monologue - Are you going to tell on me? I was out taking a walk and somebody locked the doors earlier that usual – I didn’t want to wake everybody up – so when I saw your window open – you’re not going to tell Father, are you?  This trellis is how we always got into this room to play tricks on the governess.  Louisa can climb it with a toad in her hand…. I told you today that I didn’t need a governess-Well, maybe I do.

 

All teen boys/young men trying for the role of Rolf

       - Sing “I am 16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAlBNM9IQJ8

Monologue - Can I come again tomorrow night?  I could come here by mistake with a telegram for Colonel Schneider. He’s here from Berlin. He’s staying with the Gauleiter, but I -  no one’s supposed to know he’s here.  Don’t tell your father...  Some people think we ought to be German. They’re pretty mad at those who don’t think so. They’re getting ready to… well let’s hope your father doesn’t get into any trouble. 

 

All men trying for any of the adult male roles (Captain von Trapp, Max Detweiler, Franz the butler, Baron Elberfeld, Herr Zeller, Admiral von Shreiber) 

        - sing " Edelweiss". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqwNyHPZT5w

Monologue -  Good. I’ll see that you’re given some material - today if possible. Now, you will be in charge of my children. There are seven of them. You will find out how far they have progressed in their studies and carry on from there. Each morning will be spent in the classroom. Each afternoon, they march along paths of the estate.  You will see that at all times they conduct themselves with decorum and orderliness. The first rule in this house is discipline.  

 

All women trying for adult female roles (Maria, Elsa Schraeder, Sister Berthe, Sister Sophia, Sister Margaretta, The Mother Abbess, Frau Schmidt)( Ursula, a Postulant, and Baroness Elberfeld will be doubled by those playing Nun roles) 

        - sing " My Favorite Things".  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwN3LJdGyuU   or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p6fayEC6iQ

Monologue - Reverend Mother, I couldn’t be lost on that mountain. That’s my mountain.  I was brought up on it. It was that mountain that brought me to you.  When I was a little girl I used to come down the mountain, climb a tree and look over into your garden. I’d see the sisters at work, and I’d hear them sing on their way to vespers. Many times I went back up that mountain in the dark- singing all the way.  And that brings up another transgression – I was singing yesterday.  I was singing without your permission.
