For actors who find themselves preparing for auditions for casting directors who want a melange of materials to show off their talents, this book does the trick. Monologues easiy categorized by length and topic, tragic to comic, it has made my life easier. And anyone who makes my life easier is a sidekick of mine. Thanks to the author for seeing a need to be filled and satisfying that need with insight that only one who has been there can truly know.
