Eighth grade drama students treated their classes to monologues recently! Under the direction of Middle School Drama Teacher Charlotte Dougherty, the students were tasked with writing a monologue about anything…but it had to be from a character’s perspective. Then, they practiced and performed their masterpieces twice.
First, they performed their monologues to receive feedback. They figured out how to make improvements and perfect their craft. Then, they performed a second time for a final performance grade.
Check out just a few of the monologues shared below! Bravo, 8th graders!
Monologue « Tea with Mrs. Rich » by Natalie Benoist ’25
Monologue « My Crazy Day » by Jude Cullen ’25
Monologue by Maggie Cordes ’25
Upon completing the monologue performances, Natalie shared a little about what she got out of the lesson. « My favorite part of performing as Mrs. Rich was getting to be someone older and more sophisticated than myself for a while. [Through the performance,] I learned that it is best to go all out, have fun, and not care what others think. »
Maggie shared, « My favorite part about performing [the monologue] was getting to be a character that is a different age than myself. It was fun to think about life from an adult perspective. I learned that Covid-19 has affected everyone in different ways. »
Bravo, 8th graders!
