Fantasy Monologues for Young Actors: 52 High-Quality Monologues for Kids & Teens

Typically it is hard to find many fresh monologues in a collection like this or there are too many “diva” or bratty roles. This book has a lot of good, interesting monologues that are not the typical subject matter or cliché characters. There is a nice range of emotions as well. Very happy with this purchase.

This book has been a wonderful resource in my Drama Class. My elementary students really enjoy the various scenes that are in this book. My advice is to go through the monologues and select which ones you would deem appropriate for your students. Then make plenty of copies so that you don’t wear out this book. I would have given this 5 starts, but there are some grammatical mistakes in some of the scenes.

The kids in my drama group had such fun last year with Mr. Parker’s other monologue book that I thought I’d give this one a try. As I imagined, the "fantasy" thrust allowed for so many new directions and possibilities that the kids just had a hoot with it. Werewolves running for mayor, Santa's elves going on strike, clones going to group therapy, etc. Does not disappoint.

Really enjoyed by all the young players in my group. Manages to pack in a lot of fun situations and unexpected twists while also mixing in other monologues with surprisingly emotional moments.

My daughter is really, really into acting, both during the school year and in the summer, so I’ve seen and bought several monologue books for kids. This one is so charming and clever, with monologues for everything from time traveling kids to egotistical pigeons. She loves it and I could not be more pleased myself.

Just got done reading through all the monologues and they are so much fun! Looking forward to sharing them with my kids.

Since I'd already bought the first book (Contemporary Monologues for Young Actors) for the last school year, I had high hopes for Fantasy Monologues and I was definitely not disappointed. Filled with all the fun, touching and just plain quirky moments you'd expect from this author

Bought this for one of my own young actors, but first opened it up and wound up reading the whole thing myself. Inventive, clever, fun. Recommend.
