Monologues for Actors of Color Summary

Monologues for Actors of Color: Men by Roberta Uno

Actors of colour need the best speeches to demonstrate their skills and hone their craft. Roberta Uno has carefully selected monologues that represent African-American, Native American, Latino, and Asian-American identities. Each monologue comes with an introduction and notes on the characters and stage directions to set the scene for the actor.

This new edition now includes more of the most exciting and accomplished playwrights to have emerged over the 15 years since the Monologues for Actors of Color books were first published, from new, cutting edge talent to Pulitzer winners.

Monologues for Actors of Color Reviews

This is an extraordinary and eclectic group of playwrights. Their plays tell stories from diverse ethnic communities and offer opportunities for actors of color to portray complex and nuanced characters.

Andre Bishop, Artistic Director, Lincoln Center Theatre

We need this book. If the American theater is to fulfill its democratic promise, it has to embrace artists who represent the bracing diversity of our country, and our world. Roberta Uno has done us all a service.

Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director, NY Shakespeare Festival Public Theater

American theatre and media are slowly coming to realize that diversity is not only good practice, but good business. The monologues in this volume help to ensure our field's continued commercial and artistic growth.

David Henry Hwang, Playwright
