4.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book if you're looking for short monolouges., January 5, 1999

By A Customer

This is an awsome book if you're looking for a short monolouge. The selection is really good and it has monlouges that can apply to both girls and boys. There are dramatic and comedy scences in here. This book is great for young actors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great teacher resource, May 24, 2005

This book offers short audition and workshop scenes for elementary and middle school students. Scenes can also generate some good discussion sessions related to problems young people deal with everyday - moving, winning and losing, divorce, death in the family, etc.

2.0 out of 5 stars Yuck!, August 12, 2001

By	Sara (East Lyme, Connecticut United States) - See all my reviews

I found the monologues to be very immature and boring in this book. I couldn't even finish it, because it was so lame. Fairbanks should stick to acting and not writing.
