This sequel to the popular "The Theatre Audition Book" features over 130 monologues from classical, Shakespeare, period, modern, and contemporary plays and a new chapter on musical theatre and the medium, including commercial and film auditions.

The collection features well-known playwrights including Ntozake Shange, Athol Fugard, Christopher Durang, John Patrick Shanley, Edward Albee, August Wilson, Beth Henley, Terrence McNally, and Paula Vogel -- and a number of exciting new writers who have contributed original monologues written especially for classroom study and performance.
