Monologues for Teens is a collection of 60 original monologues on a wide variety of topics. They are designed to help teenage actors reach, stretch and stand out from the crowd. Each individual piece may be performed equally well by any gender of actor.

These monologues are clean, thought-provoking, and designed to encourage positive attitudes and behaviors in our youth – and audiences. They are appropriate for film, television, and theater training.

Monologues for Teens includes:

• We Might Have Even Been Friends


• Puppy Dog Eyes


• Taming the Monsters, Silencing the Chatterboxes


• The Five Musketeers


• Lessons I’ve Learned


• Do Not Eat and many, many more.
  
  It also includes helpful, behind-the-scenes suggestions on actor training and audition psychology.
  
  Casting Director Michael Shurtleff, author of Audition, was famously quoted as saying, “The first step to a better audition is to give up character and use yourself.”
  
  His student and talented character actor in his own right, Mike Kimmel, has translated that truth into a series of books that will help hone the skills of a teen actor and help them understand how to handle and explore stage and film.
