What are some techniques to get over stage fright?

Yesterday I went up to perform a monologue in front of my theatre class, and I got really bad stage fright. Worst I've ever gotten. I tried again this morning in front of only 4 people, and the same thing happened.
This is the first time this has ever happened to me, and usually I'm just a bit nervous but I get over it quickly. This time i couldn't even start the first word.
Any tips on how to get rid of it?
