Monologue Mania Day # Just the Tip (2 minute version) 1404 by Janet S. Tiger (c) Dec.18, 2017

(Woman walks out on stage, she's in her 50s /60s, fashionably dressed but
not fancy)
I don't know how to do the hashtag
thing but if I did, I would say... me
too!
(Nods) I was working on my
first musical. (Remembering) It was so exciting! All the
people, and every one of them were going to be wearing a costume that I
made!
And one day, I was standing with the
director looking at the stage from the wings because in a musical it's really
important that the costumes can dance ...I mean that the actors can dance in
them….
(She takes a deep breath, remembering the next is more difficult)
So, I'm standing there next to the
director and then all of a sudden..... there is a hand.....his hand .....and it
is on my back..... underneath my shirt..... and this...hand..... is moving
around....
And then it moves down and it is
actually touching..... my buttocks! I was so stunned I wasn't even sure what to
do! It was so ........stunning! (Pulls herself together) Anyhow.... I
pulled away from him and said I see something I have to do over there and I
walked away still shaking a little. And in that moment I knew..... I never
wanted a man to touch me like that ever again.
(She
pulls herself together, puts her shoulders back)
Sometimes I wondered - should I have
screamed? In those days that would have just made me look bad …like when Bette
Midler talked about Geraldo drugging her and groping her and she said in 1991
to Barbara Walters -Check it out -
those are her exact words – maybe I shouldn’t talk about this I don’t want to get in trouble.
So....I think that's what this is
all about. We should not be the ones who 'get in trouble' when someone
else finds us so attractive that they have to put their hands on us WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION!!
And Pamela Anderson, thanks for the
warning, but I was never with these men in a hotel room at 11pm – I was in…-
restaurants -movie theaters….sets!
And because it was in
public, I just made an excuse - I had to go to the bathroom a lot!
But I have just made a decision – no
more excuses! If anyone ever touches me
again, I'm going to scream bloody murder!
(Turns to leave stops looks back)
Because this may be just the tip of
the iceberg ...but it's time some of these guys go down with the ship!
(She leaves - but standing much
taller)
