Synopsis

Here is a balanced collection of 50 monologues, drawn from real-life experiences of contemporary teens from all walks of life. Divorce, parents, school, getting in trouble, finding your own way -- all loom large in these monologues. In each two- to four-minute monologue, the character is saying what is currently on his or her mind, sometimes speaking to another person, sometimes talking to themselves, but almost always anticipating a difficult confrontation, experiencing something new or weighing options. Besides being split evenly between girls and boys, we have also equally divided the monologues into lighter material that could be considered humorous despite the crisis situation, and heavier, more serious material. Of course, most of the monologues contain elements of both.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Diana Howie has written eleven full-length plays and a musical, and seen them all produced. Like the monologues in Tight Spots, four of her plays, The Brightest Light, Susanna of Stratford, Judy's Friend, and Leaving San Jacinto, use real people (Alexander Hamilton, Susanna Shakespeare, Judy Garland, Sam Houston) as characters. Characters in her other plays are inspired by people she has known, but are essentially fictional creations. Before taking up writing full time, Ms. Howie was a reference librarian in New Jersey libraries. Since moving to Texas, she has completed undergraduate and graduate studies in theatre and was fortunate to have studied in Houston with Jose Quintero, a legendary director of new work for the stage. Ms. Howie has been Playwright in Residence of The Queensbury Theatre since 1997, and has been a teaching artist in Houston elementary schools where she introduced theatre arts to about 500 students each school year. She is a member of The Dramatists Guild of America.
