Great Audition Material,
This review is from: Contemporary American Monologues for Men (Paperback)
I bought this book while looking over several different monologue books for audition materials. I used a monologue to audition for my college's B.F.A. in Musical Theatre degree, and made the program. The book is well organized in a way that is helpful to find monologues by subject material instead of providing a long list of playwrights and character names, which really is not helpful at all unless you are already familiar with the monologues. This book is truly terrific, especially if you are trying to find monologues for things such as Sense Memory work, since you can easily find a monologue by subject matter.

GREAT BOOK!!!!!,
This review is from: Contemporary American Monologues for Men (Paperback)
I love the discription of the context and the characters that is on every monologue. It is poorly orginized, but there are some great pieces and shows in this book. Check it out.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Playable action rather than Story Recounting,

This review is from: Contemporary American Monologues for Men (Paperback)
This is a wonderful collection of Monologues. The plays are from the best contemporary playwrights and plays from probably late 70s to early 90s.What is really great about the collection is that the monolouges stay away from "Story" and are typically an actor talking to an "imaginary scene partner" or in other ways very easy to play an intention, objective (what ever nomenclature you choose).
