60 Seconds To Shine Volume I: 221 One-Minute Monologues for Men

by Irene Ziegler, John Capecci (co-editor)

Actors looking for short pieces to work on in class or to use for auditions need look no further. This volume is loaded with choices from contemporary and classic plays, novels, and stories. Shakespeare, Molière, and Chekhov are represented, along with contemporary writers such as Philip Roth and Steve Tesich. Many of the monologues in this book are from less well-known authors, making it the perfect choice for actors looking for something fresh--something auditioners have never seen before.

About the author

I'm an author, actor, playwright and excellent parallel parker. I'm also the voice you love to hate on your cell phone's GPS. (Seriously.)

I'm the author of Rules of the Lake and Ashes to Water, both set in central Florida, where I grew up. I'm touring libraries, building a readership one booklover at a time.

I created Annie Bartlett and dropped her into the setting of my life. Her story, like mine, unfurls in water. Her memories and monsters melt and swirl into a faded picture postcard of a Florida I once knew.

Reviews

[Irene Ziegler]

I co-edited this book, so I won't rate it. This one-minute monologue series draws from plays and literature; nothing same-old, same-old in this collection.
