Item Description...

These are professional-level comedy monologs, but they can be easily performed by talented high school actors. Most all of the characterizations can be effectively performed by either sex. The emphasis is on comedy and social satire. Nothing is sacred, yet all monologs are within the boundaries of good taste. In most instances the monologist is making fun of his/her own dilemmas of everyday living. Good contest material. Excellent for classroom use. Each monolog is three to five minutes long. Some of the monologs: History of New York City, How I Spent My Summer Vacation, The Fanatical Spectator, Trains of Nightmarish Thoughts, Letter to an Escaper, Musical Intros. What Does Your Handwriting Tell You? Mr. Know-It-All.

Reviews - What do our customers think?
Not for Females  Jul 6, 2002
I bought this book thinking that I could use these pieces in auditions, but because most of them are for males, they don't work for me. A couple are decently funny, but I found it strange that in a few of them, they listed things. For instance, dates... It's very hard to pull an audition piece of any comedic measure from a list of things you are supposed to say. So, I definetely would not reccomend this book.
 
GOOD BOOK, IF YOUR MALE  Dec 7, 1999
Though the book does have many interesting monologs for students, they are mainly for males. If you are female, I would suggest you look elsewhere for good material. Almost 3/4 of this book was for male actors.
 
WOW, absolutley brilliant  Sep 23, 1999
I thought that the monologues were both genuine and interesting, it captivated my audience and I could have gone on for hours, thanks.
 
this humour is not everybody's cup of tea  Apr 16, 1999
taste varies, but some of the humour used here is way off line - certainly by european standards. sorry - but i was really dissapointed.
 
Great book for practicing auditions.  Jan 24, 1999
There are 50 great reasons to buy this book. Buy if you want to know them. This focuses on young students like me. I highly suggest it.
