Short, breezy, provocative -- these monologs are superb for acting exercises, speech and drama contests or for auditions. Each monolog characterization focuses on a topic of interest to middle graders or high school teens. The book is divided into three sections: Ladies..., And Gentlemen... and All Together Now! Within each section the monologs are paired to permit a presentation of a different opinion of the same topic. The two-minute length of most of these monologs makes memorization easy. Suitable for classroom or performance activities.
