"Reasons to Be Pretty" Monologue - Neil LaBute

I am playing the part of "Steph" in this monologue. It is from the witty and ironically relatable play "Reasons To Be Pretty" by my favorite, Neil LaBute. This is the cut I made for my auditions. I hope you like it!

P.S. I'm sorry if I'm speaking too softly. I recorded this in my dorm and I didn't want the people next to me to hear.

That was well done. Very honest and I liked it. What song is that in the end of the video?

@irisandlights Thanks! The song is "Cheerleader" by Grizzly Bear...a great song.

what scene is this from I cant find it?

@LeighAmanda92 I don't have a copy of the play with me at this moment, but if you flip through each page and look for long paragraphs said by "Steph", skim through, and you should find bits and pieces. I compiled it.

Excellent!! Where did you get the monologue? (Sidenote in response to that other comment - don't you DARE change your eyebrows. They're perfect on your pretty face.) If there was one thing I have a problem with it's that you're obviously too pretty to be saying those words! lol

@jm2trash I cut the monologue from Neil LaBute's play "Reasons To Be Pretty". Thank you so much for the kind words! :D

I found this video on youtube and I love it, but I just read the whole play, and I can't find these lines anywhere. Not even separately. Can you give me any idea of where they're from in the play?
