Celebrating the young actor, One on One: Playing with a Purpose features over eighty-five monologues for ages 7 15. The anthology is drawn from classic repertory, Broadway shows, the work of Pulitzer Prize winning writers, plays from veteran and up-and-coming dramatists and even kids themselves! The scenes are courageous, funny, heartbreaking, and universal; the characters are contemporary, modern, maybe outrageous, even timeless, and always deeply human. Ideal for theatre students, youth groups, acting classes, playwrights, and auditioning thespians, the collection includes the best of writing from: J. M.
