Summary

One hundred monologues (50 for men and 50 for women) are arranged in pairs for contrasting characters who express differing views on wide-ranging topics, a scheme that helps performers of all ages gain valuable insights that enhance their ability to showcase acting skills. There is something for everyone in this sometimes funny, sometimes dramatic, always compelling book of audition materials.

On the even-numbered pages, you will find an brand-new, original audition piece...and, immediately to the right, on the odd-numbered pages, you'll find an opposing point of view.  It might be a response from the unseen character to whom the first person was speaking or an entirely differnet point of view altogether. Either way, the pieces are all designed to stand on their own, this is just a unique way of providing some additional "backstory."
