"Ready to
Rock?" monologue
from the published play "Music Maybe"
(It is 1985. Mabel is the owner of a small music studio. She
is dressed a bit like Madonna)
Mabel
Hi everyone... this is the studio... the is where the
magic happens... or will happen. Nothing magical yet... except for the
scream I did when I found a rat... over there. I call the scream
magical because it made my nose tingle. Anyway... this is where the
next big band is going to birth itself. And your a witness to the
first moments of it's life... take it in... take a moment to let the
aura ooze over you. Yes... feel it... yummy. So, I'm a drummer and
believe it or not, drummers do start bands. Rush, the Eagles, Van
Halen, Pink Floyd. My idea is an all percussion rock band. I'll
gather all the best drummers in the area and we'll form a supergroup
that will blow everyone away... literally. I need a good band name...
"Blow you away"? "Loud Bangers"? "Screaming Rats"? I'll figure
something out. Where is that rat anyway? He usually comes out to
say
hi. We've made friends. Maybe he could be the band mascot or
something. I could get a clear bass drum and he could run around
inside on a little wheel. I think his hearing is damaged already from
all my practicing so I don't think he'll care. He likes the beat.
So
you ready to rock?!
Mabel goes to her drum set and plays wildly.

Mel is the owner of a small music studio and welcomes the
audience.
Mel
Hi everyone... this is the studio... this is where
the magic happens... or will happen. Nothing magical yet... except for
the rat I found... over there. I call him magical because he kind of
talks to me. Not with words but with his eyes. We made a
connection.
And I know he likes to rock so he's an okay little dude. Anyway... this
is where the next big band is going to birth itself. And you're a
witness to the first moments of it's life... take it in... take a
moment to let the aura ooze over you. Yes... feel it... oh yeah.
