(Applause Books). In Performance is intended for young people who are auditioning for both undergraduate and graduate programs; as well as professional productions and industry meetings. Featured are dynamic monologues from contemporary stage plays of the past 15 years; chosen from the point of view of a professional acting teacher; director; and casting director. Along with covering the basics of how to match the best monologue to the actor and how to approach the rehearsal and performance of the piece; the book provides a synopsis of each play; a character description; and a list of questions specific to each monologue that will direct the actor toward shaping a complex; honest; and thoughtful performance that has a strong emotional connection; a clear arc; and playable actions.
