August Wilson Monologue Competition
Workshop and Audition Registrations Now Underway for 2021
The August Wilson Monologue Competition empowers high school students with the legendary playwright’s language. Students will take the stage with a lens on the Black American experience throughout the 20th Century. With the assistance from Milwaukee Rep’s professional Teaching Artists, high school students will select a monologue, prepare for the competition, and have the chance to win cash prizes. This competition is open to all high school students from all backgrounds and ethnicities.
There are three rounds of competition with Milwaukee’s two regional winners receiving a $400 cash prize and one runner-up receiving a $100 cash prize. Regional winner will move on to compete at the national level.
For the 2021 the competition will be held virtually. Registration for auditions and the free workshops is under way now. Auditions will be held Feb. 27 and the deadline to sign up is Feb. 18.
