Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A doctor carries a black bag. A soldier hauls his weapon. And the actor carries the monologue. For any working (or hopeful!) actor, the monologue is the calling card, the audition, and the preview of your talent. In a few brief seconds, your monologue can create an indelible image in the mind of the director and open the doorway to a career. This collection of new, original monologues allows the actor unique opportunities for expression: some are serious, some are humorous, and many can be performed either humorously or dramatically. None require an introduction, and most are suited for both male and female performers. Your monologue is your vehicle, and you must power it up and steer it with your own personality. The scenes within these pages represent every type of vehicle, from sleek sports cars to vintage jalopies; you may even find a scooter or a skateboard. Enjoy the ride.
