About the Book:

The Best Men's Stage Monologues of 2006 contains only material from published, readily available plays, all first published or produced in 2005-2006, and most appropriate for use by student actors and working actors in need of audition material. Some of the playwrights whose work has been included in the book may be familiar to you, such as Theresa Rebeck, Don Nigro, Terrence McNally, and Athol Fugard. Most pieces are by up-and-comers, though — such as Jonathan Dorf, Sheila Callaghan, Josh Fox, and Michael Puzzo. A partial list:

After Math by Jonathan Dorf
Boy by Julia Jordan
Bug by Tracey Letts
Monkey Soup by Don Nigro
Orson's Shadow by Austin Pendleton
The Scene by Theresa Rebeck
