Sources & copyright.

ActorRise is a search and discovery tool for monologues. Every piece links back to its source and original publication, and we never host the full script of a copyrighted work.

Where our content comes from

  • ·Project Gutenberg: Public domain plays (e.g. Shakespeare, Chekhov, Ibsen, Wilde) and public-domain play anthologies. Each monologue links back to the source on Gutenberg when available.
  • ·Other public domain & licensed sources: We may include works that are clearly public domain or explicitly licensed (e.g. Creative Commons) with attribution and source links.
  • ·Film & TV reference: We offer metadata-only reference entries (character, source title, thematic descriptions, and links to scripts and clips). We do not host any film or television script text; links point to third-party sites (e.g. IMSDB) for your convenience. ActorRise is not responsible for third-party content.

Full scripts

We never host or distribute the full script of any copyrighted play, film, or show. For works still under copyright, we point you to the publisher or a licensed source to obtain the complete script, and every piece we surface carries attribution and a link back to where it comes from.

If you are a rights holder (or represent one) and would like something removed or corrected, email canberk@actorrise.com with a link to the piece. Requests are honored promptly, usually within a day.
