MONOLOGUES/AUDITION SCENES GUIDE

Theater Arts students who are trying to get a part in a production often need to find dramatic monologues or scenes to use in their auditions. While the PSU Library contains many texts of complete plays, it is very convenient for the student to be able to locate significant individual monologues and scenes, which have been collected into anthologies.

The PSU Library has a large number of these collections of audition materials. Many of these collections have a specific theme (e.g. contemporary scenes, scenes from the classical theater, comic monologues, scenes from Shakespeare, scenes from movies or from the stage) or are intended for a particular group of student actors (e.g. women actors, men actors, young actors, actors of color, scenes for two actors).

These monologue or scene books can be located in the online catalog by searching under KEYWORD for the following subjects:

Keywords: Monologues and Acting
Keywords: Dialogues and Acting
