They may be used in a classroom or for performance when you contact the playwright for permissions and give credit to the source. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTopics include: family issues, relationships, shopping, cool jobs, holidays, breaking rules, complainers, bullies, moving, travel, self-esteem, coming of age, books, TV shows, school, death, and others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere is a sample monologue: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo Facilities\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e(Adriana is talking to her mother.)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeriously, Mom? You've got to be kidding. No, I don't wanna rent a porta-potty for my Sweet Sixteen party. I can't imagine any of my friends using a porta-potty. Why wouldn't they use our bathroom? It's not like we don't have one.\u003cbr\u003e(beat) Oh, I get it. \u003ci\u003eYou\u003c\/i\u003e want to rent the porta-potty. Yes, I know you have a thing about people using your \u003ci\u003erestroom.\u003c\/i\u003e I understand your feelings, (beat) but this is my party. Mine. And you have to understand me. How am I gonna tell my friends they have to go outside to use a two-by-two construction workers' stink john when we have a perfectly good bathroom inside? A porta-potty at my birthday party? My friends are gonna be wearing dresses and heels. Some guys will have rented a tux. How would I ever go to school again? How? Everybody would laugh. Is that what you want?\u003cbr\u003eI respect\u003ci\u003e you\u003c\/i\u003e 'cause you tell me to. Now you have to \u003ci\u003erespect me\u003c\/i\u003e. (beat) Laughing is not respect. I'm sixteen already. Almost. I deserve some consideration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e(beat) I'll sanitize our real bathroom if that's the issue. After the party, when all the guests go home. (beat) I will \u003ci\u003etoo\u003c\/i\u003e clean it. I clean things. (beat) Well, things. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e(beat) I don't care if couples rent them for weddings. I don't care if the porta-potty is deluxe and has a skylight. I don't care if the porta-potty's got wood floors or carpeting or comes with a big-screen TV. (beat) I'm sure all of my friends are, um, well, \"healthy.\" Because I'm sure, that's all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e(beat) Where would we even get a porta-potty? VIP Restroom Rentals? Seven hundred and fifty dollars? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOkay. Okay, Mom. Forget it. (\u003ci\u003esarcastic\u003c\/i\u003e) I'll be sure to write, \"Please pee at home\" on the invite. (beat) No, Mom, I am \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e serious about the \"pee at home\" comment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e(beat) Maybe I don't want a party after all. Maybe all I want is a car. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome of the titles include: Boots and Loot, Embassy Brat, Grounded and Astounded, If Only I Had a Dollar, You Wanted a Boy, It's a Ham Sandwich or Nothing, Kidnapped by UFOs, The Spanking, and Stupid Topics to Fight About at Lunch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Lynn Zenker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8557750226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798557750226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Susan Lynn Zenker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080591438079,"sku":"9798557750226","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6452215b-b12d-4c14-a168-6895bda107cd.jpg?v=1685487666","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-with-the-show-susan-lynn-zenker-9798557750226","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
