Teens Speak Girls Ages 13 To 15: Sixty Original Character Monologues

Offers a collection of monologues to interest teenage girls from age thirteen to fifteen.

Gr 7 Up-In each of these titles, the characters are briefly introduced and the one- to two-minute selections show the teen in different situations-at home, in school, talking to friends, etc. Offerings are designated as comic, semicomic, or dramatic to assist the person auditioning, but some readers might question these labels after reading the pieces. Many of the selections follow a thin plotline, allowing actors to get a better feel for the teens as they read an entire section. Some characters have a clearer voice than others, but for the most part these monologues will provide refreshing alternatives to the standard audition pieces directors and drama teachers have become accustomed to seeing and hearing year after year.-Betty S.
