Teen monologues in contemporary plays after 1900?

I have to audition to get into this Fine Arts school and I have to present a monlogue from Shakespeare and a monologue from a contemporary play after 1900. Also the character, I will monologue has to be around my age. I am 14 years old, and I’m a girl, so I need to find a character thats a teenage girl! Thanks to all those who answer!

I hope you find something you can use from the above. I tried to keep to characters that were around your age – at least within 2 years. Some of the monologues may consist of 2 or more speeches pieced together, but that’s easy to do.

mark twain Tonight [VHS] $9.99 Come meet Mark Twain. OK, true, the humorist has been dead for more years than we care to remember, and not many of us around today were alive to hear what he sounded like. But Hal Holbrook is so spectacular in his one-man performance that you could swear you were listening to Twain himself. The gravelly voice, the lined face, the slow shuffle, and cigar-induced throat clearings seem so natural …

The Pochsy Plays $13.95 Beckett meets Betty Boop in this trilogy of monologues by Canadian cult heroine Pochsy, a nasty, vapid, utterly charming vixen. In Pochsy's Lips , she's in the hospital, convinced she's sick because she's got a squid where her heart should be. In Oh Baby , she's at the Last Resort, on holiday from her job packing mercury. And in Citizen Pochsy , our little minx is in the waiting room at an audit from hell. In The Pochsy Plays , Hines remodels and melds traditions like stand-up, absurdism, clowning and neo-cabaret to create some of the most original and cutting satire to hit the stage – and, now, the page. Walk a mile in her distressed calfskin boots as the dark and ditzy Pochsy garbles ad slogans, self-help mantras and desperate grabs at meaning into a postmodern pastiche that is hilarious and harrowing, sweet and bitter at the same time. With extensive photos and musical scores, and an introduction by Darren O'Donnell.
