Description
Winning Monologs for Young Actors is a collection of 65 original monologues by author Peg Kehret. Designed for young actors to use in speech contests, acting exercises, auditions, or performances, the book features “scare-free” monologues that feel warm, funny, and realistic. The monologues are written to be relatable to young people, with titles such as “Cafeteria Lunches,” “The Last Day of Sixth Grade,” and “I Thought Ellen Was My Friend”. The book includes monologues specifically for girls and boys, as well as some suitable for either, ensuring there is a wide range of characters to choose from. The monologues are described as “nontheatrical” and are praised for their honest-to-life characterizations.
