Our First Book is available for presale!
Yes, finally! You can now pre-order the ETC Monologue book and it can be in your hands in just a few short weeks.
Emily and Team ETC have been working ‘round the clock to add TEN more monologues to our debut book! That means 110 options to refresh any actor's repertoire or expand the canon in the classroom. Actors can stand out amongst the crowd in audition rooms, and educators can show more students that the classic canon is and always has been for all of us.
❌ No more bringing in the same monologue as 50 other actors at the EPA.
❌ No more settling for roles written by dead white guys that don’t quite capture the depth you’re looking for. (sorry dead white guys)
❌ No more disengaging students who feel they don’t have a place in classic theater because their narratives have been erased from the curriculum.
Our mission is to make sure these problems disappear. This book is the next step!
Whether you’re an actor or an educator, this is the monologue book you need in your arsenal. But don’t just take it from us:
“A monologue book of staggering consequence... Finally a book making the case to expand what we know about the classics and giving the artist new resources for expression.”
"What an exciting resource for actors to have at their fingertips! After more than twenty years as a Casting Director, I’ve heard the same classical monologues countless times, especially at EPAs. 110 Standout Classic Monologues for Any Actor (from overlooked plays by historic women) offers something genuinely fresh: the chance to discover rich, compelling material drawn from playwrights whose work was too often ignored simply because they were women.”
“What a gift this collection is to actors and to all of us who will be lucky enough to witness the beautiful stories from these important writers. Thank you to Expand the Canon for uplifting these distinct voices, and for giving actors such rich and compelling material. It’s about time these stories are told!”
