On Stage

I was on stage the other night, Entertaining people and showing no sign of fright. Me, the one who used to be so shy, Looking them right in the eye, Giving them their money's worth And being paid back with their laughter and good cheer. It felt good, More than I knew it could, But as a matter of fact What I liked best, Was working with such a great team, On and off stage they were the best. To be part of such a team is really quite a dream, To have their confidence placed in you Is even more supreme. So here's to the cast, May they be friends to the last. Here's to the producer, She couldn't have done better. Here's to lighting and sound With no fault to be found. Here's to props who came up tops. Here's to make-up who showed us how to face up. Here's to to the stage manager who made it right on the night. Here's to the prompt who kept us all in line. Here's to the theatre which brought us all together.
