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.)
