About the Author:

Playwright/Editor Jocelyn A. Beard, a veteran of NYU's film school and the Yale School of Drama, has edited almost forty monologue books for Smith and Kraus. Her Screenplay, Igor and the Lunatics, was made into a feature film and subsequently listed in Heavy Metal magazine as "One of the 10 Sleaziest Movies Ever Made!" Notwithstanding, Jocelyn lives in an old haunted house in the Hudson River Valley with her husband, Kevin Kitowski, their beautiful daughter, Blythe, and lots of dogs.

From Library Journal:

These new additions to the Smith and Kraus series of audition pieces and one set of rehearsal scenes borrow their material from the current year's theatrical productions. The pieces are from American, British, and Russian playwrights and represent both well-known plays, such as Robert Schenkkan's The Kentucky Cycle (Dutton, 1993), and plays that will be completely new to the general public. The selections include both dramatic and comedic scenes, and the characters portrayed provide a wide range in terms of age, race, and even mental stability. Thematically, the scenes reflect current concerns; AIDS, the breakup of the former Soviet Union, and drug addiction are all depicted. While some plays appear in two of the three collections or in all three, the scenes selected are unique and do not overlap. Recommended for libraries with theatrical companies or actors in their area and all large drama collections.
