Product Description

Covering the best of Broadway, Off-Broadway, regional, and experimental theatre since 2000, One on One challenges actors to explore the inner self, develop skill and artistry for auditions, and deliver a knockout onstage performance. These monologues - sometimes comic, sometimes serious, and often both - tackle issues ranging from race, class, gender, relationships and romance to coming of age, mortality, 9/11, and the Iraq war.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great choice for monologues!, June 30, 2009

By	Dolores "Lola" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

I borrowed this from the library for my boyfriend, who was beginning an acting workshop. He found so many useful monologues in this book that we ended up buying it. The pieces span a wide range of ages, ethnicities, types, and topics, and it is an indispensible as a source for fresh and exciting audition pieces that haven't been done to death by a million other aspiring actors. Highly recommended for all male actors.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any theatre producer or writer who wants to be inspired, March 13, 2009

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

The monologue is an important part of the theatre, but even the best actor will falter with poor material. "One on One: The Best Men's Monologue for the 21st Century" is an anthology of great monologues geared towards male actors. Comprised of contemporary writers' best work, the monologues range across diverse topics, from serious social issues to entertainment-based matters. "One on One" is a must for any theatre producer or writer who wants to be inspired or use the best.
