Several monologues from Kelly’s plays have been performed individually, published in anthologies, and used by actors in auditions to “get the part.” He is currently writing a new collection of comic monologues called We’re Those People about parenthood. Selections from this project will appear here first, so check back frequently for new monologues.

If you are interested in reading more monologues from his work, or acquiring permission to perform a piece, simply contact the playwright.
