New Featured Monologue
The Touch (Jesus Did What No One Else Could) The gospels in the Bible record that Jesus healed the sick, the lame and that the lepers were made clean. With poetic license, “The Touch” takes us into the life of a man who had become a leper. Everything in his life was wonderful. He was happily married and his children loved him very much. One day in the evening he was washing his hands from being in the field, when a trace of blood appeared in the wash-basin. He didn’t think too much of it at first. After all it wasn’t anything new to cut your hand while working in the field. But when the cut turned into a sore over the next few days, he knew it was something else…something very serious…leprosy. He knew then that his life was going to change in a drastic way. Being separated from his wife and children was what he had to look forward to…well, that is until Jesus happened to come into his life. In a time when it was unlawful to touch a leper, Jesus’ touch changed everything. Cast: Male Running time: 10 minutes if you allow time for stage movement, musical underscore and emotional segues.
You Just Need a Tree (Changing the Altitude of Your Attitude) Luke 19:1 The story of Zacchaeus in the book of Luke is one that every child that’s been to Sunday has heard. Zaachaeus is the man who was evidently a little too short to see Jesus because of the crowd, so he climbed a tree. But this monologue is far more than just the story of one of our Sunday School favorites. I’ve taken the physicality of Zacchaeus and translated it to have a spiritual application. Zacchaeus only needed a tree and it changed everything. Zacchaeus only needed to change his altitude or in this instance, the height of his faith. When he did, salvation came to his house that day. This monologue is a wonderful sermon compliment as a setup or follow-up to a pulpit message. It can certainly stand alone as a powerful messenger of faith and teach others that all they need is to elevate their thinking and Jesus will meet you at your need. I think you’ll really love the way the cross of Calvary is intertwined into the ending. Cast: Zacchaeus Running time: 10 minutes
Christian Monologues
Performing monologues is a great way to enhance any drama ministry. Monologues can be used through-out the whole year and stand alone as a sermon set-up before the Pastor speaks, or be an accompaniment to the Easter or Christmas musical.
Monologues are also good for introducing drama to the local church that may not do very much drama. The book, "Drama, the Visual Language", found on the Instruction page would be a great help for your actors to use as a resource. Howi sells it for .01 because he wants you to have a chance to start with a firm foundation.
Someone asked me, "How many people are in a monologue?" Sound silly? Well, that's okay...but there's just one person in a monologue. You'll want to download Howi's acting book called, Drama, The Visual Language. Go to the instructional page to buy it for 1 penny. Moi, Me, Uno, One

Order now $4.00 Dear Howi,
Thank you for the material - it was
indeed a great blessing! I used the monologue called THE ACT, adapted it
slightly and translated it into Afrikaans, my mother tongue. Our
congregation consists of a lot of people that come from broken
relationships. This piece was used as part of a sermon about morality
and was a real blessing in terms of bringing healing amongst this
particular audience.
Thanks again for the material - may our
heavenly Father use you and continue blessing your work!
Regards in Jesus!

"The Deliverer"
-
Moses' mother has just sent Miriam to take Moses to the bulrushes. The anxiety is
almost too great to bear. Great for Mother's Day, Ladies Retreat or anytime. 10 minutes
New! For 2012 Solo Flight 2
We've combined 10 more new monologues in Solo Flight 2. The second
set of 10 monologues listed below make up this new series. Save money
and purchase all 10 as a package.
Again, they are also available as a single if you
prefer. Half Formed, But Whole Hearted (The
Importance of Sincerity) Mark chapter 9 verses 14-27 records a wonderful
miracle of a young man being delivered from an evil spirit by the Lord
Jesus. This monologue takes us on that emotional journey that the father
of the young man experienced. This father carried a huge burden on his
shoulders. His son was different than the others. This father was
walking down the road that no other father was walking. Who could relate
to this father? What answers were there? How long could this father
endure with this weight of anguish as he watched an evil spirit try to
destroy his son in the fire and in the water. This is a very emotional
script, but one that will relate to your audience’s conscience and soul.
It is a story of triumph despite a generation of faithlessness. It is
triumph because it calls is to be honest with who we are and sincere with
what we still need and that’s…Jesus. Cast: M (However, I think the piece can still
be done with a female character about her daughter just as easy. It
doesn’t change the message of the story. Just let your audience know that
you’re doing that.) Biblical costume Special effects: The right music would enhance
the overall effect Running time: 8-9 minutes (Depending on ebb
and flow and music)
When The Hardest Thing to Do Is the Right Thing to Do We have created a custom
Studio Quality Music Trac for this monologue. It
includes an audio backdrop so the audience has a historical
understanding of who Uriah was. Music underscore appears
throughout the monologue to enhance a moving atmosphere for the actor to
play off of. The ending is a very thought provoking and emotional
experience. $8.00 This track includes a historical introduction so that your audience
can learn who Uriah was before the actor performs the piece. We receive
a notification that you have purchased the track. We then send the track to
you via the internet. You will need to make sure that you can receive the CD through high speed internet Someday, Came Today $7.50 One
of the most powerful sermon set-ups or sermon follow-ups.
(The leper who returned to give thanks)
Luke 17 records the story
of the ten lepers that Jesus healed. All ten men were healed, but only
one came back to thank the Lord for his healing. Howi uses the scriptural
events and poetic license to show us a moving story of the Samaritan leper
who was healed by Jesus and came back to thank him.
(A Thanksgiving themed monologue for any time
of the year.)
Cast: Male
Running time: 6-8 minutes depending on
interpretation of actor
(Removing the Herods in Our Life) This monologue is more than just the
retelling of the traditional Christmas story. It goes further and invites the
audience to listen, but to also sit up and re-listen. It makes the audience
think. Yes, to appreciate the fact that God came, Emmanuel, God with us, is the
essence of why we celebrate, but to also think about how he came despite what
else was happening in the earth…despite who was sitting on any earthly throne.
“The Bethlehem of My Heart”, opens the possibility for your audience to ask the
question of themselves, “Who sits on the throne of my heart?” Everyone needs a
Bethlehem of the heart. This is a moving and thought provoking
moment for your audience. It can be a stand alone moment or a contribution to
the evening of celebrating the birth of our Saviour. Cast: 1 M
Joseph
Running time about 7 minutes
The Bethlehem of My Heart
Laughter
-
(Monologue) This
comical look at one of the greatest events of the Bible fits well in a
woman's retreat or conference. Sarah over hears the conversation
that her husband, Abram is having with the three visitors from heaven.
A wonderfully interesting script with room for comedy and drama without
compromising any of the Biblical text. Better suited for an all
female crowd. 7 minutes
Six

What was the woman at
the well thinking or doing before she went to the well? This monologue is
the last five minutes before she left to go the well. Little does she know
that she will meet Jesus there. Obviously her life wasn’t one to be
jealous of. She had been married six times before and the man she was
living with wasn’t her husband. The script paints a very vivid picture of
oppression. With poetic license, Howi weaves another moving and
enlightening monologue that needs to be seen and heard.
Cast: 1F
Serious drama 8 minutes with the right music On My Cross - This monologue is
from the carpenter's point of view who made the cross that Jesus was crucified
on. A wonderful and thought provoking monologue that fits well for Easter and
as a sermon set-up.

Books
The Twinkling
His Magnificent
Smallness
Psalm 147:3-4 He healeth the broken in
heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
He telleth the number of the stars; he
calleth them all by their names. “The Twinkling”,
is a monologue that will inspire the audience to grow past conventional
thinking. It will remind the believer that God does not work
according to our calendar and his timing is always right. The seeker
finds refuge in this script as it proclaims to them that even though our magnificent
God spoke the stars into existence and calls them all by name, that God is
still small enough to be magnificent in his healing of the broken and
wounded in heart. The Twinkling is a wonderful sermon set-up. Cast: M/F
Can be biblical or modern day
Running time: 7 minutes
The Emmaus Disciple
(Cleopas, a Witness of Pentecost Monologue)
The day of Pentecost was the birth of
the church in Jerusalem. Peter stood up that day and preached the
first message that thrust the church into existence. I
have taken one of the disciples from the book of Luke chapter 24 verse 18,
called Cleopas, that the Bible records was on his way to Emmaus with another
disciple after Jesus’ resurrection. On their way Jesus appeared to
them, but they did not recognize him. They talked with him as they
walked and when they arrived to their home in Emmaus, the men asked Jesus to
eat with them. As Jesus began to break bread, their eyes were opened
and knew that it was him. I have taken a little poetic license to
have Cleopas also on the hillside when Jesus ascended away into the heavens
and there in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. This
monologue is a good mix of history and natural revealing of what the Bible
says happened on that day. Historically, according to the book of
Acts, the Old Testament celebration of the feast of Pentecost was going on
in Jerusalem. Because of this thousands of people were there from
other countries and regions.
Cast: 1 M
Running time about 7 minutes My Dad’s Shoulders
(Learning to Trust So We May Soar in the
Heavenlies) There are so
many wonderful memories that I have of my father that I wanted to share one
that maybe you can perform for Father’s Day. No doubt there are many others
that have had the experience of being on their dad’s shoulders. So, I’ve
described mine through the medium of a monologue. Now I look back on those
wonderful days and understand better that many of those experiences were
about trust, love and discovery. Often times, trust is the door to the day
of discovery and the foundation of love and appreciation. This
monologue describes the steps of trust a child learns by being on their
dad’s. Not just being on their dad’s shoulders but standing on his
shoulders. Not just standing on their dad’s shoulders, but standing on
their dad’s shoulders while the dad trots around the yard. Cast: M/F
Monologue Can add musical
underscore 6 minutes with correct feeling. |
