In the second edition of this popular guide, actors learn to use their
skills to write monologues, performance art pieces, and one-person
plays. Updated to include exclusive interviews and tips on marketing,
this guide helps actors create their own exciting performance
opportunities and follow in the footsteps of Elaine Stritch, Billy
Crystal, John Leguizamo, and other stunningly successful
writer-performers of one-person shows. The author, an award-winning
actor, breaks down the writing process into simple steps, coaching the
reader through each stage of the creative journey.
