"THE MONOLOGUE BIN": THE KIND OF BOOK THAT ACTORS NEED
                    
What do actors need most? Besides money.... New and different monologues! For class, for auditions, for performance. And now over 100 original monologues are available in THE MONOLOGUE BIN by Jim Chevallier, whose Web site - http://www.chezjim.com - has drawn praise from actors, teachers and parents since 1997:

"I've been searching for weeks to find a monologue to perform in my theatre class and these are the first ones that I truly liked."
"I was looking for a monologue to use for a talent show and yours are perfect!"
"You have helped me so much today. I teach voice and my students are always in need of a monologue for whatever program they do. Now I have such a great resource!"

Judy Kerr, author of "Acting Is Everything: An Actor's Guidebook For A Successful Career In Los Angeles", lists the site in the upcoming edition of her book. Gerald Lee Ratliff, a professor at Potsdam University, includes two of the pieces in his own collection, "Millenium Monologs", along with work by Wendy Wasserstein, Chris Durang, Arthur Miller and other celebrated writers.

"THE MONOLOGUE BIN" begins with 30 pieces for teens - both comic and dramatic - and continues chronologically through all age ranges, ending with pieces that can be performed by adults of any age or gender. The monologues in the book have been 'road-tested' - read aloud and critiqued by groups of actors - before the final selection. The result is a strong, varied, stimulating collection, a toolbox for actors who want to work on a wide range of characters, voices and moods.

There's something for everyone in THE MONOLOGUE BIN!
