The Poconos

December 28, 2023 by James Larson Leave a Comment

In this monologue from the play, “The Poconos”, Dana realizes she and Mark are lost on their vacation road trip.

DANA: Oh, come on, Mark! Admit it, we’re lost. This is not the ‘scenic route’ to the Poconos, unless you consider ‘Scenic’ synonymous with ‘Where in the world are we?’ And you, Mr. ‘I Don’t Need a GPS Because I Have a Built-In Compass in My Brain.’ How’s that compass working out for you? I swear, if I get killed by a trucker who’s a serial killer out here, I’m gonna haunt your ass til you cry. You think I’m joking? You know how many horror movies I watch. You’re not even using Google maps, what is this, 1995?! Who am I dating?! If I knew our romantic dinner would be at the Kum’n’go, I wouldn’t have worn my nice dress. Or maybe I should’ve worn my formal gown. But hey, there’s a silver lining. We’ve got plenty of time to test out every single song on our road trip playlist. Twice. By the time we find civilization, we’ll have our own car karaoke show. At least there’s no one else I’d rather be utterly and truly lost with than you.
