The Flip Side: 64 Point-of-View Monologs for Teens

Short, breezy, provocative-these monologs are superb for acting exercises, speech and drama contests or auditions. Each monolog characterization focuses on a topic of interest to middle school and high school teens. The book is divided into three sections: "Ladies...," "And Gentlemen..." and "All Together Now!" Different than other monolog books, within each section the monologs are paired to permit a presentation of a different opinion of the same topic. The two-minute length of most of these monologs makes memorization easy. The material is also suitable for classroom or performance activities. Sample title pairs include "Mirror, Mirror/Princess Pizzaface," "Couch Potato; Fat Kid," and "I Love Mrs. Smith/Mrs. Spit."
