DESCRIPTION:
Fabulous! As a professional Broadway stage manager for over 30 years, I have seen lots of auditions. I welcome this book as a fresh, overdue approach to the monologue.

I especially enjoyed those in rhyming couplets -- so difficult to achieve and so cleverly done here. A great collection for actors, teachers, students. In addition, Jan Silverman's Guide to Performing a Classical Monologue is masterful. There's also a companion volume of 50 Fabulous Classical Monologues for Women.. Great for men C. Frey This book is great for students and others interested in finding monologues for themselves. It would be fabulous for both amateur and professional students who need to hone their acting skills or develop self- confidence in front of an audience. Drama teachers should find it most helpful as well.Ceil Frey
