New Comedic/Dramatic Monologue for men: You're Not Into Princesses
When is the last time you wore a fedora with a feather in the cap and someone called you a dashing prince? Okay, so it’s been about 2 years for Jason, the character in my new monologue, YOU’RE NOT INTO PRINCESSES. But it feels like yesterday… This is a monologue about a dad and his former-princess-loving daughter! (Click here for the monologue)
YOU’RE NOT INTO PRINCESSES a great monologue for men looking to something a bit comedic, with a touch of the dramatic. In less than 2 minutes, you get to show a dad coming to grips with the fact that his daughter is growing up (she is at the ripe ole age of 7, after all!) and things are changing. He can have his feelings, but he also needs to show a brave face to his daughter and get on board! There’s a nice arc and opportunity for showcasing some great acting in a memorable bite.
The monologue runs around 1.5 minutes, for a male actor, upper 20s-50s, great for auditions, showcases, competitions and performances.
In the monologue, Jason speaks to his 7-year-old daughter, Talia. It’s the night of a Parent-Daughter dance at her school, and just as they’re about to leave, Talia gives Jason the news: she doesn’t want him to wear the hat to the dance. Enjoy an excerpt from Jason’s response below and click here for the monologue, YOU’RE NOT INTO PRINCESSES.

JASON
What’s wrong with my hat, sweetie? I thought you liked it? Didn’t you say I looked…what was the word… Oh it was so cute, you said… Oh, you said I looked “dashing!” Like a prince—a dashing prince? And you’re—you’re my little princess. Right?
(looks at his daughter reading her negative reaction)
You didn’t.. just… you didn’t say that? To me? Yeah, you did—it was at your, uh, Rapunzel Birthday Party. I had the plastic sword too and you… Was that really almost two years ago?
(steps back to take a good look at his daughter and the non-princess dress she’s wearing)
Are you not into princesses anymore, Talia?
(pause)
Uh… Okay—END OF EXCERPT
