Book excerpt: The monologues and scenes in the Breathtakingly Original Series were written specifically for the age ranges and genders specified in the Table of Contents. That said, many have been adapted for both genders, and adapted for the handicap-able actor as well. They may be used, studied, performed in Universities, High Schools, Junior Schools, Senior Centers, and Acting Schools, private or public.Pieces that are written for mature adults (senior citizens) can easily be used as an educational tool for the young acting student. With regard to the Diversity Monologues, they were specifically tailored to the diversity listed. However, those monologues may be used as an educational tool for the non-disabled actor as well. Plus, actors with varying disabilities may study and perform any monologue in this collection.Every word in these monologues and scenes has been written with love for the characters depicted in them. Many are based on people I have known personally in my life or have mentored and directed in my theatrical career. That is why they ring true with me and hopefully, with you as well. It is where pathos, humor and joy lie - in truth. And the truth is always breathtaking.
