is a treasure trove of the famous soliloquies plus many unfamiliar gems. Softcover,

their peers but to anyone who is raising, teaching, or nurturing girls
of color. Softcover, $18.95.
Advice To A Player:
A Collection of Monologues from Shakespeare with Explanatory Notes
Donald MacKechnie
While some of the 32 speeches included here are well known and favorites for audition
purposes, most are less familiar and so provide challenging opportunities for an
actor to grow. The author carefully examines each monologue as a whole and the various
sentences and phrases within it. He goes on to explain point by point everything
the actor needs to know about that moment in the play when the monologue is delivered.
Softcover, $27.99.
