Lawrence Harbison has selected 100 terrific monologues for women from contemporary plays, all by characters between the ages of 18 and 35. Perfect for auditions or class. There are comic monologues (laughs) and dramatic monologues (no laughs). Most have a compelling present-tense action for actors to perform. A few are story monologuesand theyre great stories. Actors will find pieces by star playwrights such as Don Nigro, Itamar Moses, Adam Bock, and Jane Martin; by exciting up-and-comers such as Nicole Pandolfo, Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, Crystal Skillman, Greg Kalleres, Daniel Guyton, and Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig; and information on getting the complete text of each play. This is a must-have resource in the arsenal of every aspiring actor hoping to knock 'em dead with her contemporary piece after bowling over teachers and casting directors alike with a classical excerpt. Review: New Favorite - This is the best monologue book I’ve ever found. I find that so many are just flat out terrible and unusable, but this is filled with options that are actually practical options with a variety of styles and characters. Review: Very satisfied - Arrived on time ..great condition

Shockingly dated feeling for only be 12 years old
Although I was expecting a few of these to be meh, I was a little mind boggled by how cringeworthy and one note most of monologues are. Almost all are eye-wateringly heterosexual. The comedies aren’t particularly funny, and most of the dramas are a bit edgy and over the top (not in a good way). A couple of good picks, but overall very weak options for a young actor in 2026

Not a great monologue book for young actors
Not a great monologue book for young actors. Most of the comedic weren't funny at all and there were a decent portion of monologues about characters who are actors. Perhaps more appropriate for the 25+ range.
