The Vampire Is A Strange And Wonderful Creature

on the phoneHello? Hello, hi. Accounts Receivable Management? Yes, this is Stephanie Smith. Oh, you're calling about my Visa debt. Right. No, I know I haven't paid it. Yeah, I did know that it's overdue because you've been calling every morning at 8 a.m. To tell me. Why haven't I paid it? Uh, because I'm pregnant and alone and my boyfriend left me and they cut off my food stamps, so I've got to hold onto the little money that I've got right now. So, I guess that's why I haven't paid it. Oh, you'd like to work with me. That's great. Thanks so much. No, like I said, I can't pay the full amount right now. Well, hold on for a minute. My sister's right here. I can ask her.

She said hell, no. Well, my dad's dead, but I can ask my mom.

Accounts Receivable Management wants to know if mom will pay it.
yelling out
Mom! Will you pay my Visa bill?
back to the phone
My mom said no. Well, I know that you're only trying to help me out, but I don't really know what else we can do. Wait a minute. Unless...OK, here's my plan and I think it'll work. I'm having a baby. Maybe I can sell it, and then I could get you the $125.00 that I owe you.

No, I'm not being serious. And stop calling here at eight in the morning because everything they tell you in your debt collection training program is true: I really am a lazy bitch who expects society to take care of me. I usually stay in bed until about noon and I don't like being disturbed by a ringing telephone at eight o'clock. Oh, yeah, and one last thing. Eff you!

After looking into the details of this play, I really do not think it would suit me or the auditions I am going for, first of all the character is female and not male, so that causes problems straight away, it doesn't say anywhere in the audition requirements about not doing a different gender piece, but I don't think they would recommend it. After reading the content of the monologue I laughed to myself imagining me performing it and saying how 'im pregnant and my boyfriend left me', I wouldn't even be able to act this because id feel embarrassed. My strengths are comedy so this wouldn't suit me even if it was my gender. So 'The vampire is a strange and wonderful creature' is cut out of the shortlist also.
