Monologue Mania Day #871 Locker Room Change (from the play, modified for a monologue) by Janet S. Tiger (c) July 2,  2016


                                Locker Room Change
                                                       A monologue by Janet S. Tiger  (c) July 2, 2016
                                                    tigerteam1@gmail.com

         (Man walks out, dressed in the whites of a person who works in a gym.  He has a cart and some towels.  He walks over to the audience,  offers a towel and takes one back, puts it in the cart)

 (Very slight Mexican accent) That's ok, I got it, no problem, you don't have to worry about puttin' it into the container over there, this way, I can  just save you a trip, man.

          .....Your first time here, I can tell, hope you like it, hope you decide to get a        membership...or just come in when you want.....we've been here a long time.....

       (Listens)

          Yeah, I been here since I was a kid, helpin' my dad, back before the           neighborhood was nice....you know?  Back when I had to collect the towels because people would steal 'em, not like now, when half the people bring their    own towels, ....big towels.....sometimes they leave 'em behind and I take 'em     and give them to the Goodwill because we can't keep 'em, too much trouble.

          So be careful, don't leave nothing behind......it all gets tossed......shampoo,         razors…(smiles)…..thongs……

 Anything you need, just ask.....

          (Turns to the audience, listens, laughs)

Well, locker rooms, you gotta love ‘em!  A lot gets changed in a locker          room….They're interesting places......any place where people got no      clothes on, they got no disguise.....it all hangs out, so to speak!  You see, when you're naked, most people have that little tiny voice in their head that makes          them nervous....that voice that says....'hey, what if there's an earthquake, or a     fire......and I have no clothes on?  What      am I gonna do?

I seen a lotta things in these locker rooms ......one time, there was a guy, and he would walk around, into the locker rooms and the showers and the exercise areas, and he was a tech guy, so he had all the latest equipment, and he had this tiny little camera on his glasses, and he put all these people on the Internet without tellin' them!  

Some of them were naked, and some of them were sweaty, and all of them wanted to kill this guy!  But he didn't go to jail or nothin'!  Because his father worked for the Sheriff's office, and they look out for their own......me, I borrowed a friend's car one night, I go to jail....that's how the world is, right?

But now, the world is really gonna change, and we gonna have the biggest change!  We gonna have uni-sex locker rooms!  Anyone can go into any room they want.....no one can complain.....it's gonna be interesting......if a man thinks he's a lady, he can go into the ladies rooms, and if a lady wants to be a man, she can be in with the men.......we'll see how that works out....who knows, maybe they'll do that in jail, too!

          (He turns to leave, stops, looks back)

The only thing you can be sure of.....is change....especially in the locker rooms!

         (He laughs and goes to change the towels.)

Monologue Mania Day #870 Just a Test (30 second  version) by Janet S. Tiger (c) July 1,  2016

Please note -this is for my book - 30 Monologues Under 30 Seconds     
                                                                                 This monologue is for - male or female any age

This is under 30 seconds -first time posted!  All the monologues for this book have been timed - but your performance will determine the length.  Usually between 30 seconds and one minute is acceptable for auditions preferring shorter monologues.  Use a stopwatch for good results - video for even better.  Good luck!   


                                                Just a Test 

             (A man over 50 comes out looks around, then starts making a horrible noise that sounds like                 eeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.  He stops and smiles)

This is a test.  Do not worry.  Everything is just fine.  The horrible sound coming from your television set will stop in just a few moments....unless of course there really is a nuclear war and then.....the horrible sound will also stop.

We listened to these alerts all through my childhood.  And nothing happened.  We hid under out desks at school, and in the basement, and inside the auditorium......but no one died.....until the tornado.  And there was no warning for that!

        (Turns to leave, stops, looks back)

That's when I learned......sometimes what we worry about......for years......was just a big ass waste of time.

        (He exits to another service announcement)
