"Are you tired of buying monologue books only to discard half of the pieces because they are outside of your age range? Not anymore. The first four books in this series are for: women in their 20s, men in their 20s, women in their 30s, and men in their 30s. That means 101 monologues per book, 2 minutes and under, that are all usable by you."--BOOK JACKET.

JANET B. MILSTEIN is an actress, audition coach, acting teacher and one of Smith and Kraus' best selling authors. Her books, The Ultimate Audition Book for Teens: 111 One-Minute Monologues, and Cool Characters for Kids: 71 One-Minute Monologues have been on Barnes and Noble's What America's Reading: Top Ten Books in Acting and Auditioning.
