"Larry
Hillhouse offers material for all ages. His Monologues for Young
Actors provides 48 pieces, some divided by gender, but most useable
by boys or girls. Hillhouse has a good feel for what young actors--as
well as an audience, including adults--find amusing. These monologues
would make good class assignments or grouped together would serve
as an excellent theater recital.
Hillhouse's
Comedy Monologues for Adult Actors is up against stiffer competition,
but a fair number of these 34 pieces manage to tickle the funny
bone."
