The PGE’s 7th Annual Faces of America Monologue Festival
On November 22, 2025, we will host the 7th Annual Faces of America Monologue Festival at The Marjorie S. Deane Theater in NYC.
About the Festival
We created the Faces of America Monologue Festival in 2019 in response to the inequality of opportunities available to marginalized communities.
Each year we celebrate the diverse stories that make up America by inviting writers to submit two minute monologues that showcase the broad spectrum of what it is to live, work and play in America. Our aim is to collect unique, captivating and beautiful stories and share them so that we learn, grow and hear each other.
We can’t wait to hear the incredible stories that will be submitted for this year’s festival.
To submit your monologue for consideration there are 4 few simple rules:
Your monologue must fit in the theme Faces of America.
