i think just to read it over and over again and test yourself as you go along. when i usually have to remember short things i sing the words in the tune of a song i like LOL this helps.

Oh, gosh! 5 pages by Monday! Ok well I am an actress also and it gets so hard and irritating when it comes to lines. What you need to do is break it down to chunks. The chunks will be what mainly happens in like a paragraph. Title those chunks and memorize those titles in order. Make sure you get what they are about. Then try again and go chunk by chunk, and keep telling yourself whats next and focus on the content of each chunk. I really hope this helped!

Best of wishes!

Read it and read it over and over.... the best memorizing time is when morning because it's silent, refreshing and you can't easily forget it because it's a new day... your mind will be refreshed.... BrEak a leg....(in theaters that means goodluck)

go over and over and over it until you know it so well
5 pages by monday is hard so your up for some late nights

memorize one line at a time. read it the way it should be said and record yourself saying it. listen to that recording. for some reason people learn better when it is heard and read. read along and listen and say it outloud. have poeple quiz you on it. you can do it. break a leg!!

well for 5 pages this may not work..but i usually rewrite what i need to say a few times and it's stuck in my brain.

I think you should record yourslef reading it and continue to listen to it until you can recite it without using the paper.

Hope i helped!
