Great Monologues for Young Actors

I actually don't own this book, but I was looking through it in the book store and initially noticed all of the great playwrights with work in the book. This is probably one of the best books I have found for age appropriate monologues for teens. They're not your usual, melodramatic "I'm a teen drug addict" monologues. They come from great plays and each monologue contains a brief synopsis. I would definitely recommend this book if you're looking for monologues from college that are rarely seen but still great pieces.

As a young actor, it is very hard to find monologues that do not insult my intelligence or acting ability. So many books have shallow monologues that cannot really show off a young actors strong points. I love this book because every page has a challenging and effective performance piece. As a student or young actor, this book is a must have! The pieces come some well known plays, are challenging, and are open to iterpretation to many different styles. The cuttings are great (the best I've found actually). You'll love this book. It's wonderful.
