Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

For speech contests, acting exercises, auditions or audience entertainment in a stage review, these short monologs are to theatre what Art Buchwald is to journalism. Warm. Funny. And best of all - real! Sixty-five characterizations for girls, boys, and both together. Any young person will relate to the topics of these scripts. And they will like them as performance material that is "scarefree." The only book of nontheatrical monologs we know of.


Product Description

A collection of sixty-five monologues providing young performers with a variety of audition pieces reflecting situations both serious and comic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, February 15, 2001
By Andrea Fernandes (Arnold, MD USA) - See all my reviews
I found this book excellent for monologues. Trying out for an acting club, we used monologues from here as our cold readings. They put everyone at ease because they are so perfect for kids. Everyone got really into the monologue they were assigned. In the club, we will perform live with big puppets like they use on tv. For each of our puppets, we will use one of these monologues. They're fantastic! The kids we perform for will absolutely love the monologues!

5.0 out of 5 stars didn't find this one helpful, May 26, 1999
By A Customer
a friend of mine gave me this book in preperation for a professional audition i had coming up and i found nothing in it worth performing. the conclusion that i came to is that the peices selected in the book are somewhat shallow and it's my opinion that if a young actor wants to "win" with whatever he/she is performing, that the material will need to be more real to life and personal to the performer. i don't meant to say that the book would not be usefull for acting excersises or cold reading work, i am, however, saying that young actors such as myself need more of a challenge in their performing than this book gives, especially for something as important as an audition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Encore! An Absolute Winner!, March 28, 2006
A Kid's Review
This is the perfect book for an audition or cold reading. I needed to have a monolog for my theatre class and this was just the thing! The monologs in this book are so perfect for kids. It has monologs for any style of audition and some of the monologs are just hilarious! I truly don't know who wouldnt like this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is okay.
I didn't really like this book. The monologs were of an unusual sort, they were really abnormal, that is, most of them were. They also were hard to "act" to. Read more
