Play Script
The Monthologues
by Hillary DePiano
A funny, touching monologue play about all the ways who we are intersects with when we are.
When the school slashes their budget, the misfits of the anti-bullying club have to scramble together a fundraiser or lose the only place they have to be themselves. The last thing anyone wants to do is pose for a charity calendar, especially when they’ve already got a target on their backs just for being different. But as they each take their turn in the spotlight, the resulting snapshots say more about who they all are right now than they do the months of the year.
- Run Time: 50-70 minutes
Cast Size: 16 monologues of varying length that can be played by performers of any gender

All this time I thought silly little clubs like this weren't important, but now I see that when everyone's trying to tell you there's something wrong with who you are, just being yourself is well, radical.
