attack of the comic monologues!!!

Feb 17, 2006 16:33

SO
for my u of m acting audition next friday, i'm going to have to perform
both a serious and a comic monologue. i'm definitely gonna go the dramatic one
from extremities (the rapist in the fireplace one), but i'm not so sure i want to
keep my old comic one about the teacher talking about the aliens.
i have a couple choices of monoz that i think i could perform better-
i'd appreciate your much-valued input!

Joan from "sexual perversity in chicago" by david mamet

what are you doing? where are you going? what are you doing? you stay right there.
now. what were the two of you doing?  i'm just asking a simple question, there's
nothing to be ashamed of.  ::PAUSE::  i can wait.  ::pause::  were
you playing "doctor"?  ::pause::  "doctor."  don't play dumb with me,
just answer the question.  you know, that attitude is going to get you in a lot
of trouble someday.  were you playing with each other's genitals?  each
other's... "peepees"- whatever you call them at home, that's what i'm asking. 
and don't play dumb, because i saw what you were doing, so just own up to
it. ... alright, no.  no, stop that, there' s no reason for tears. 
it's perfectly... natural.  but... there's a time and a place for everything.
now... no, it's alright.  come on.  come on, we're all going in the other
room, and we're going to wash our hands.  and then miss webber is going to call
our parents.

p.s. GAH- for those of you who read the "chloe" monologue i had posted earlier: i
just realized i can't do it. it's an original monologue, which means it's not from
a play, it's just some random monologue some guy wrote... and u of m specifically
requested monologues "from plays". it makes me really sad, because i loved the chloe
mono to death...
