Product Description
From School Library Journal
YA A lifesaving resource for theater teachers and acting students, this book provides a refreshing supply of contemporary monologues for men and women from well-known and more obscure scripts. Readers will find comic, serious, and seriocomic monlogues. An index lists them by the age group of the characters. As a book for leisure, readers will find that the wide assortment of characters demonstrates a full range from the delightful to the dramatic. Informative conversations with a few playwrights, including Christopher Durang, provide greater insight into contemporary drama. High-school drama classes will appreciate this fresh material and its authoritative presentation. Joseph Harper, Episcopal High School, Bellaire

3.0 out of 5 stars
if you're using this for a speech team...,
By Emily (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Actor's Book of Contemporary Stage Monologues: More Than 150 Monologues from More Than 70 Playwrights (Paperback)
The reason why I bought this book was to get a speech from it. I was in Dramatic Interpretation. Nearly all of the monologues were too short for the 8 minute time limit. I like to have my speech over 5 minutes. I did get a speech out of here, The Art of Dining by Tina Howe. But I had to combine 2 monologues. This was last year. For this season, nothing is satisfactory. I am going to buy a new book. This book is good for entertainment. I friend of mine bought the book after she heard my speech. It would be a good book for a short audition speech or a drama class. But for the purpose that I purchased it for, it failed.
