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

What a great sourcebook!
This book is fabulous for people needing audition pieces...these monologues are not overdone, and they all come from recent plays. If you need edgy, witty, or just some awesome pieces, get this book and enjoy!

I like this book. it should have more teen monologues
This book is a good book if you audition a lot at professional and amature theatres. It also is good if you are on a speech team and need different types of monologues. The only drawback is that it dosen't have many teen monologues.

Great Monologue Book
I love the reference chart in the back. It's organized by sex, then age, then emotion portrayed. It also gives a quick description of each character, so you don't have to read through all of the monologues. Some great choices, too! Great picks from little-known dramas as well as popular ones.
