<p>Can anyone recommend a good contemporary and/or classical monologue for a 17 year old boy? I have read that it is best to pick from a “new playwright” if possible. Does anyone know of any good ones with age appropriate material?</p>
<p>Look at the play “With Their Eyes” by Annie Thoms. It’s an account of the events of 9/11 from the point of view of students from a HS near the World Trade Center. My son used a monologue from it for his college auditions and it was well received. Although he did have to do a bit of “cut and paste” to get it right and for the time allotment.</p>
