Jock monologue for male

This is a monologue from an early draft of an upcoming project written by Shiela Larson.  This could be for a short film or used as a stage monologue.

 "JOCK" by Shiela Larson

SCENE 1
A lighter lights a cigarette.  A strong and exhausted man puts the cigarette in his mouth and inhales.  (Jock)  He begins to unwrap his hands, they are bloody.  Then exhales.

                              JOCK
                    Being an underdog is never easy.
                    This ain't "Rocky", we don't get a
                    happy ending.

          Jock starts rinsing his face off.

                              JOCK (CONT.)
                    You keep waiting for that
                    opportunity, to show what you are
                    made of...

          He looks at himself in the mirror.

                              JOCK (CONT.)
                    Then time gets away from you.  And
                    you are older...     

          Jock packs up his stuff from his locker then gives a quick
          salute to his manager and steps out the door.

                              JOCK (CONT.)
                    I've done my share of contributing
                    to society.

          A man is holding up a woman, she gives him her purse.  Jock
          casually walks over to him and beats him down.  Then tosses
          back the woman's purse.

                              JOCK (CONT.)
                    I feel like I was meant to have a
                    greater calling.  I mean, sure, I
                    enjoy beating the crap out of
                    scumbags.

          Jock is walking through a shady alleyway.  Some homie starts
          swearing at him and flips him off.  Jock turns around and
          glares at him and the guy backs off.

                              JOCK (CONT.)
                    I just don't want to spend the rest
                    of my life fighting off these low
                    lives.

          Jock stands on the sidewalk waits for traffic and lights another cigarette.  Then notices a scuffle across the street, he sighs, tosses the cigarette and begins to sprint over to the scuffle.

"Signs of the Times" short play for 4 actors

This is a play for 4 actors.  It is written for 3 males and 1 female but it is can performed by any gender. 





“Sign of the Times” by D. M. Larson

(A homeless kid, ANNIE, is sleeping up stage / hopefully unnoticed until later. Actors can be wearing silly costumes  such as Randy can be dressed as Uncle Sam or the Statue of Liberty -  Richie can be wearing gold chains and rings - Don can be wearing an oversized suit and silly blonde wig. RICHIE enters with a sign that says something like “CASH FOR GOLD” or “MONEY FOR METAL”)


RICHIE
This is my first job and I have to say this is a dream come true. I get to listen to music and dance the day away. "Cash for Gold! Don't get stuck in the cold!" I made that up myself. And I love that I'm getting paid to do this. I wonder if they'll pay me in gold?

(RANDY enters with sign that says “BIG TAX REFUNDS”)

RANDY
"You can now relax, because we help with your tax."

RICHIE
Hey, this is my corner.

RANDY
Our stores are right next to each other. They use the same parking lot. This corner belongs to both of us.

RICHIE
I was here first.

RANDY
We're not competing. In fact we can work together. We can be on the same side... a team. They can bring their gold and then do their taxes. It ain't the same thing.
"Bring your gold and do your taxes - get more monies and then relaxes"

RICHIE
Bring your gold and do your taxes!
We're giving more money to the masses!

RANDY
I like it!

TOGETHER
Bring your gold and your taxes!

(DON enters with a sign that says “VOTE FOR BUMP”)

DON
Don't be a chump. Vote for Bump.

RICHIE
Hey this is our corner!

DON
Our campaign office is right there in the same strip mall. I can be here too.

RANDY
Now we're going to have to change the chant again.

RICHIE
No, I liked it the way it was. “Bring your gold and do your taxes!”

DON
Then vote for Bump who will lower your taxes.

RANDY
You can't rhyme taxes with taxes.

DON
Why not?

RANDY
I don't know... Because That's the rule.

RICHIE
See. It doesn't work.  "Bring your gold and do your taxes."

DON
And If you're a terrorist then bump will kick your asses.

(NOTE: If actors can't say asses then DON can be cut off before asses is said)

RICHIE
No, no, no!

RANDY
I thought it was kind of catchy.

RICHIE
Why are you supporting Bump anyway? He's terrible. He's greedy, sexist and racist.

DON
It's a job okay? Besides what's so honorable about wanting more gold?

RICHIE
Whatever. I was here first so buzz off.

RANDY
I have an idea. What if we do a dance off and whoever wins gets this corner?

DON
Sounds fair.

RICHIE
But I was here first!

RANDY
You two are going down when you see my moves.
"Do your taxes and get money back. Get a refund and that ain't no smack."

DON
"Bump is the man who gets your vote. If he wins he will give you a ride on his fancy boat."

(RICHIE decides to join in)

RICHIE
"It's shiney and sparkles and never gets old. Let's here for the wonderful metal called gold."

RANDY
Oh yeah I win!

DON
What? I totally killed it.

RICHIE
You two were terrible with a Capital T. My corner now. Bye bye.


RANDY
No way! My corner!

DON
You can't push us around. This is a free country. Besides I won fair and square.  My corner!

(Homeless kid, ANNIE, wakes up)

ANNIE
Will you all keep it down?! I'm trying to sleep.

RICHIE
Did that pile of trash just speak?

RANDY
I don't think that's a pile of trash.

DON
It's moving.

ANNIE
I'm not an it. I'm a me. Now can't you see I'm trying to sleep!

RICHIE
Near the sidewalk?

RANDY
By a busy intersection?

DON
Without a pillow?

ANNIE
I have a pillow.


(ANNIE holds up something very strange looking)


ANNIE (CONT.)
I have no clue what it is but it is soft.

RICHIE
And stinky.

ANNIE
I can't really tell. All the smells just kind of blend together.

RICHIE
I see what you mean.

(ANNIE goes up to DON)

ANNIE
Bump? The billionaire? Is he running for president?

DON
Geez. Where have you been? Everyone knows that.

ANNIE
He'll win too. He can buy himself anything he wants. That must be nice. I'd buy me a double bacon burger with cheese if I had a billion bucks.

RANDY
What are doing out here sleeping on the street?

ANNIE
If slept in the street I'd be dead. I'm sleeping under the laundromat vents - it's nice and warm

RANDY
But you're just a kid.

DON
Are you homeless?

RICHIE
Isn't there so “P-C” term for that? Housing challenged?

ANNIE
Don't turn me in ok? Them foster homes is way worse than this. I don't like being locked up or beat up so I'm fed up and living on my own

RANDY
Can we help?

ANNIE
Gotta a dollar?


DON
No.


RANDY
Come on. Why don't we all chip in a buck and get her a burger?

DON
I ain't giving her something for nothing. People need to work for it. No handouts.

RICHIE
You really are a bump supporter.

DON
I guess his message is sinking in.

RANDY
It's just a dollar.

RICHIE
Today a dollar. Tomorrow two dollars. Then a car and house.

RANDY
That would be terrible if homeless people had homes.

DON
You know what he means. You can't give people something for nothing.

RANDY
Fine. If she holds our signs for a while then we can buy her a burger.

RICHIE
Sounds fair.

DON
Fine... Hey, kid. Hold our signs for us and we'll buy a burger.

ANNIE
Really?

(They give her the signs)

RANDY
Really! Isn't that cool?

ANNIE
Geez wiz mister. That's swell.

RICHIE
But you have to dance around a little. Get people's attention.

DON
Don’t just stand there.  Move around with the signs.

ANNIE
Like this?

(Annie runs off with the signs)

RICHIE
Hey! What are you doing?

DON
She just stole our signs!

RANDY
I’ll get fired if I lose my sign again!

(They run off - ANNIE re-enters other side without the signs.  She sees one of them left a backpack - she looks inside and finds a lunch - and sits and opens it and eats some of the food happily)

ANNIE
My corner.

Free Script for Kids - Snow White and the 7 Kachus

Here is an excellent free script for kids.

"Snow White and the 7 Kachus"


This Freedrama.net play features our website mascot the Kachu! Kachus can been found all over the website... on the Freedrama title... acting out some of the plays in pictures... but now you can see these cute little birds in action in a quest for their favorite food... cupcakes! They make friends with Snow White (who makes the best cupcakes ever) and help save her from the evil Queen who wants to stop her from making these treats which give her a tummy ache.



CAST OF CHARACTERS (in order of appearance)
NARRATOR: The storyteller of the play who ends up becoming a part of the play.

SNOW WHITE: Shiela makes the best cupcakes in the kingdom but her cupcakes give the Queen a tummy ache which leads to trouble.

QUEEN (OLD LADY): The evil Queen who hates Snow White's cupcakes and wants to get rid of her.  She also plays the old lady who tricks Snow White in to eating a poison deep fried apple churro.

SOLDIERS BILL and TED: Soldiers who work for the Queen but are not sure they want to follow evil commands.

7 KACHUS: Flit, Flap, Flop, Flirt, Fifi, Foofoo and Fart are cute little birds that live in the woods.  They love cupcakes and become Snow White's friend.  Kachus are inspired by the mascot of the Freedrama.net website and appear all around the website with the logo and ads.  They are the creation of my wife, Shiela Larson, and she was happy to have them be a big part of the website. We decided it was time the Kachus had their own play. This is the first appearance by the Kachu birds in a script.

PRINCE DOUGLAS: A Scottish prince who was lost at sea and ended up in the land of Snow White.  They Kachus get his help to save Snow White.

EXTRAS: Soldiers and villagers (as many soldiers and villages may be added to the play as desired and actors may play since neither appear at the same time).

SCENE 1
(Snow White skips in with a basket full of goodies to a village)

NARRATOR
Once upon a time, there was a pretty girl named Shiela who had skin as pure white as a morning snow.  People swear it sparkled in the sunlight like a cool winter sunrise.

(Snow White gives the narrator an annoyed and embarrassed look)

SNOW WHITE
Get on with the story.

NARRATOR
Sorry... because of the winter whiteness of her skin, everyone called her Snow White.  Snow White was also famous for her amazing cupcakes.  She baked them better than anyone in the kingdom.  Everyone loved them.
People rush in and crowd around her.  They leave and all the cupcakes are gone.  Her basket now is filled with gold.

SNOW WHITE
Time to bake some more cupcakes.

(Snow White skips off happily with her basket full of money)

NARRATOR
But not everyone liked Snow White's cupcakes.  There was an evil queen who hated cupcakes.

(Evil queen enters)

QUEEN
I hate cupcakes.

NARRATOR
How can anyone hate cupcakes?

QUEEN
They give me tummy aches.

NARRATOR
Oh... so sorry.

QUEEN
Do not pity me!  Off with his head!

(Soldiers rush in and grab narrator)

NARRATOR
Hey! Wait! You can't do this... I'm the narrator!

QUEEN
I can do anything I wish.  I'm the queen.  And now to deal with Snow White and her cupcakes.  I put on a disguise and give her this deep fried apple churro in exchange for one of her cupcakes.

(Queen snaps her fingers and a solider rushes in)

SOLDIER
At your service! Reporting for duty! Your wish is my command!

QUEEN
Take this message to Snow White.

SOLDIER
The pretty cupcake lady?

SNOW WHITE (OFF)
Stop saying that!

QUEEN
Yes... someone needs a special delivery.

(Queen does an evil laugh and leaves.  Soldier watches her go and turns and Snow White enters)

SOLDIER
That was easy.  Yo!  Snow!  Got a message for you.


SNOW WHITE
Oh! Thank you. Special delivery to the dark and spooky woods.


SOLDIER
I wonder why they called them the dark and spooky woods?   They're actually quite pretty in the spring.


SNOW WHITE
It's kind of like the whole Iceland and Greenland thing.  Iceland is quite pretty and Greenland is quite cold.


SOLDIER
I have no idea what you're talking about.


SNOW WHITE
Go sit down before you hurt yourself.


SOLDIER
Yes, ma'am!


(Soldier salutes with his sword hand and whacks himself in the face.  He stumbled off)

SNOW WHITE
Well, it's off to the dark and spooky woods.


(Snow white skips along and the village background changes to a forest.  She stops when she hears some ruffling in the leaves)

"Mr. Moo is Mad" by D. M. Larson

  • Publication Date: September 1, 2017

MR. MOO
You humans have a love hate relationship with us bovine. We are used and abused. We're all shakes and burgers to you aren't we? You can't get enough of us.

You even use our cowbells in music! Don't try to deny it. I know you're always wanting more cowbell in your songs.

(Smiles)
 
Hey, do you know why cows wear bells? 

(Pause)

Because their horns don't work.

(Laughs at his own joke)
 
A little barnyard humor.

(Frowns when he remembers what he was talking about)
 
But seriously, we have tried to get along with you. We have tried to give you our fair share. What do you give us in return?  You take away our fields... You lock us up in fences. You cage us. We no longer can enjoy those long lazy days of grazing in open prairies. Instead we are imprisoned in corrals of corruption. Corporate corruption which feeds on greed and wants to squeeze every drop out of us for a few extra pennies. 

(Angry)

How dairy you?! You butter try harder to get along with us or we're cutting you off faster than you can cut the cheese. No, I'm not milking this for all it is worth.

(Gets sad, almost in tears)

Because it seems like every human is in on it. If it's not corporate hogs then it's those of you who want to protect the prairies and deny us fresh grass to graze upon.  Do we too not have a right to be free, to feed openly and enjoy what the Earth provides? Or are we only to give and you only to take? 

(Mad again)
 
We try to get along with you but now you've crossed a line? We're not in mooood anymore. This has gotten udderly ridiculous. I know you're probably going to say something like, "Don't have a cow!" What does that mean anyway?! Well. I'm taking a stand. No more tipping this cow.

(Resolved)
 
I've decided to be a bully now. I have vowed to steal kids' milk money. We're keeping our milk. We're denying you Double McWhoppers with cheese. 

(Grows proud)
 
You might ask "Where's the beef?"  Well, I'm here to tell you it's right here!  Cowabunga!

Teacher uses Improv Drama Games to Teach Vocabulary

Here is a great idea from a teacher in my Drama Games class at HOL.edu:

Using New Vocabulary Words Can Be Fun

One of the subjects that my students struggle with is learning new vocabulary intentionally. We have a list of twelve words every two weeks that the students are given. We work on various projects throughout the two weeks until they have a test on those words to conclude that lesson. There are cumulative tests, quarterly, on the words. The students seem to take in stride that vocabulary is major part of our studies, but many students do not exert any energy at home on learning the new words, so they fail the vocabulary tests. Hearing and using a new word multiple times and in multiple settings at school, will help them to learn it.

When they first hear or see the new word, it is way outside the bullseye mark of them being able to “own” that word and use it correctly. After lots of experience with the word, they can confidently have it be part of their working vocabulary. I personally am passionate about increasing students’ working vocabularies. I am always surprised and simultaneously appalled at the limited vocabulary of my eighth graders. Frequently I am explaining a pun or a situation ina story, because they don’t understand some of the key words. High interest and low stress situations, intuitively, will give better learning results; so I try to include interesting projects and games using the words during the week to help them with their “acquisition experience”. Flashcards do work well for recognition in multiple choice situations of the meaning of a word, but not for practical use of the word and the understanding of
a word’s nuance. Here is where using games can increase their understanding of a word’s meaning.

In the book 175 Theatre Games there are two similar games named
Rumor (game #9) and Gossip (game #86). Last week I tried these games to help the students with initial use of the new words. I put each of the twelve words on their own card, with a sentence on the back of the card that contained that word. I put the class into four groups by playing the “Clumping” game (#50) and eventually calling out “eight” so we would have even groups. Each group “performed” while the other groups watched. We did it this way the first time so that they could learn the game.

The students were really excited to watch the groups and see how the sentences turned out. Truly, this was a game of “telephone”. The first student whispered the sentence the second student and so on. I had the card with the sentence on it on the overhead screen so that the other groups could see what the sentence was supposed to be.

In this way the students all saw the sentence, and one group practiced it. They enjoyed playing this game of telephone. Out of twelve tries, only one group got one sentence exact. Their prize was to leave for lunch three minutes early. The students wanted to play longer (this took twenty minutes) so I know that they will want to play this game again. The watching groups were fascinated by the performing group. They also were very aware of the sentence that was supposed to be uttered at the end of the line, as they were looking intently at the sentence of the screen and watching the faces of the
participants in the telephone “line”. I will probably put them in groups of six next time to make the game easier for them to repeat the sentence exactly.

There are two other story telling games from the book 175 Theatre Games
that I think the kids would enjoy while experimenting with using the new vocabulary words. Students often don’t use new words in a correct grammatical context, but if they were telling a group story where they each had a few lines, it would be fun practice where the intended meanings would be close to the definition. Even though it may take a lot of practice and usage to be spot on with the correct form of the word or placement grammatically in a sentence, they could be getting more familiar and comfortable with the use of the new vocabulary words. The game “A Story to Tell” (game #65) would be a quick “sponge” activity to use for a specific word list, or even as a cumulative review of vocabulary lessons. The essence of the game is that each student has ten seconds to weave the word that is given to them in a cohesive, coherent improvisational story that the group attempts to tell. The game says to use a kitchen timer for the ten seconds each student has, but I think I would assign one of my level 4 ELL students to keep time and ring the bell every ten seconds. I would hand out flashcards that have a list word on them (instead of whispering it in their ear) and the definition would be on the back of the card to save any horrid misuse of the word, which would defeat the purpose of using the word correctly in context. Instead of a circle, I would have the students in a line in order to help them to be more linear with the story. Also, that way the student who didn’t use their word in the story within the ten seconds, would have to go to the end of the story line to get another chance to insert their word into the story. I think standing in a line would also help with projection, so the audience could hear them better.

The audience would be listening to the story as a review, or reinforcement, of the meanings of the words in context. A similar game from the same book is
“The Story” (game #76). This game does not have a timer involved. The students are given a vocabulary flash card each, and then they would naturally take their turn at weaving their word into the story. I would have them touch the shoulder of the one next to them when they are ready to relinquish their turn. (I may have to have a thirty second rule though.) We could have two stories at the same time going on in the room,
but I think that listening to the story is half the fun and most of the learning;
so two groups would be distracting when trying to focus on their own group.
When students in another group are laughing at something, it would be hard to focus because the grass is always greener on the other side.

Using games to practice vocabulary is a fun way to use the word in multiple contexts and to get in more “repetitions” of the word, so that each time the student is closer to “owning” that new vocabulary word in their own personal lexicon.

WISHING (MONOLOGUE)

by D. M. Larson

(PENNY is the school drama leading lady)

PENNY

Have you ever made a wish? I make them all the time. I watch for the first star each night… "Star light star bright, first star I see tonight... I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight..." I always make the same wish, but I can't tell what it is. Then it might not come true. I really want it to. It would change my life.

I go to wishing wells with lucky pennies... Those pennies you find that people have lost... Unlucky for them... Lucky for me... Then I toss them in the wishing well in front of the old museum. And I toss them in the fountain at the mall... Each time making my wish.

Have you ever wanted anything that badly in your life? So badly that you can't imagine your future without it? I would be so sad if my life wasn't different... If things didn't change... If I was still stuck here... In this life. But I won't stop wishing... I can't… I don't want to be left with nothing... zero... give me some meaning... and make this suffering worthwhile.
