Monologues for Young Adults is an original collection of family-friendly, gender-neutral, stage and screen scripts to help young, up-and-coming actors nail their college drama program auditions and professional performances. Full voting member of the National Television Academy and longtime NBC Tonight Show with Jay Leno sketch comedy performer Mike Kimmel has been writing, acting, and producing for decades. He brings practical, real world experience from the Hollywood and New York trenches to the challenge of monologue auditions.
With relatable, real-world topics applicable to young adults in their twenties and thirties, these scenes require no costumes or props, and discuss ethical questions ideal for deep thinkers to explore. If you like fresh content, optimistic spins, and challenging ideas, you'll love this definitive new resource.
