In this one-of-a-kind collection of monologue plays, Eric Lane and Nina Shengold have gathered a breathtaking array of human voices and stories by master playwrights and emerging new writers. Each of the plays, ranging from one-acts and ten-minute plays to full-length works, creates a rich and specific world. In these pages, readers will meet a dazzling group of dramatic and comic characters: an actress chasing a role as a prison guard on a soap opera, an Indian waiter new to America, a lesbian performance artist taking her father to Auschwitz, a surfer dude trying to summarize the plot of Moby-Dick in under two minutes, and a Dutch librarian hunting down a book that's 123 years overdue. Because each selection is a complete monologue, Talk to Me is an unprecedented source for actors in search of material for auditions, classes, and performances, as well as a literary gold mine for anyone who loves drama.

For the vast generation of actors in their teens and twenties, as well as for teachers, directors, and producers, Under Thirty is an unparalleled source of diverse and challenging roles, created by some of today’s finest writers. The twenty plays presented here in full or in part include insightful looks at the pressure-cooker caste system of American high schools as well as heartbreaking, edgy portrayals of twentysomethings adrift in the city. There are snappy romantic duets, large-cast ensembles, and everything in between, populated by richly dimensional, mold-breaking characters: misfit cheerleaders, nurturing drifters, rich petty thieves—even a rogue SAT tutor. The contributing playwrights span the range of contemporary talent, including award-winning dramatists such as Sam Shepard, Donald Margulies, Warren Leight, and Kenneth Lonergan, hilarious humorists such as David Ives and Douglas Carter Beane, and an impressive array of cutting-edge newer voices.

A ten-minute play is a streak of theatrical lightning. It doesn't last long, but its power can stand your hair on end. These splendid anthologies contain enough wattage to light a small city. 

TAKE TEN's 32 contributors include Laura Cunningham, Mary Gallagher, John Guare, Sherry Kramer, Tony Kushner, Chiori Miyagawa, Nicole Quinn, Jose Rivera, John Patrick Shanley, David Smilow and August Wilson.  

TAKE TEN II includes 35 ten-minute gems by such playwrights as Taylor Mac Bowyer, Christopher Durang, Sigrid Heath, Warren Leight, Donald Margulies, Mark O'Donnell, Dael Orlandersmith, Craig Pospisil and Mary Louise Wilson.

Gather any group of actresses, from students to stars, and someone will inevitably ask, "Where are all the great roles for women?" The roles are right here, in these unprecedented and magnificently diverse collections.

PLAYS FOR ACTRESSES includes seven full-length and ten one-act selections with all-female casts by Edward Albee, Lee Blessing, Laura Shaine Cunningham, Casey Kurtti, Adam LeFevre, Craig Lucas, Lynn Nottage, Paula Vogel, Wendy Wasserstein and others. 

LEADING WOMEN includes full-length plays and one-acts with mainly female casts, plus 11 outstanding monologues, by such playwrights as Jenny Lyn Bader, Alan Ball, Kia Corthron, Migdalia Cruz, Eve Ensler, Julia Jordan, Ellen McLaughlin, Claudia Shear, Martin Sherman and Diana Son.
