What people say:

"Sixty Seconds to Shine-101 Original Audition Monologues ... offers 101 pithy, gritty, and often humorous pieces for a wide range of character types. The great strength of 60 Seconds to Shine is it’s focus on original material. Nothing kills an otherwise successful audition like running over the allotted time. Monologues that work well often become overused, by the world at large as well as by individual actors, so including fresh selections from a wide range of sources is a plus. Summing Up: Highly recommended for student and professional actors." — CHOICE Magazine

"Award-winning playwright Glenn Alterman presents his seventh book of original monologues in 101 Original One-Minute Monologues (Volume 3 of the 60 Seconds to Shine series), created especially for actors who are more and more often given one-minute auditions in which to showcase their talents. There are monologues here for men and women, ranging in tone from dramatic to comedic to serio-comedic. Many of the monologues cover topical subjects, and an introduction offers suggestions for choosing and presenting the right one at an audition." — Wisconsin Bookwatch

"Enthusiastically recommended for practicing and aspiring actors everywhere." — Midwest Book Review
