a.k.a. Jason

a. k. a. Jason is a monologue delivered by a 19 year-old guy on his break from work at a call centre. His friend has just quit to go back to school. Over the course of 25 minutes he tells us what he thinks of his job, the customers who call in, his relationship with his mother and father who are not together and were never married. "Jason" likes one girl he works with and gets caught having sex with another. He discusses his bosses and the woman from HR who tries to deal with general dissatisfaction among the call centre employees. There is a contrast between his cynical self and the extremely accommodating and polite person he must be to the call centre's customers. He starts out tough but by the end he is handing us his heart on a plate. 

a.k.a. Jason was first performed at the Alumnae Theatre in Toronto. It starred Benjamin Blais and was directed by Emily Pearlman. Read the excerpt here.
