Review by Choice Review

This book offers 55 contemporary comedic monologues for male and female actors. Written in a variety of styles but all intended for the GLBTQ character, the monologues were contributed by 23 individuals, Gaddis (an EMMY-winning actor) among them: most contribute one entry but several contribute multiple entries. The length of the monologues varies, with delivery time ranging from two to five minutes, and the characters represent a wide variety of people (ages range from 13 to 70) in various circumstances and locations--e.g., a therapist's office, work, bars and coffee shops, church. Offering an interesting collection of comedic LGBTQ monologues, this volume joins Caroline Gage's Monologues and Scenes for Lesbian Actors (1999) and Queer Monologues: Stories of LGBT Youth (2013). What sets the present book apart is the age range it spans. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers. --Jo Tomalin, San Francisco State University
