Regional Theater

Living in New York, I see A lot of Broadway shows And most of them have stars on stage That everybody knows. Yet often in the lesser roles Are actors out to make The audience acknowledge them – To earn that hoped-for break. In local theaters, all the cast Performs from that same place, While dreaming that the world will know Their name or voice or face. And thanks to that, they try their best And give it all they’ve got, Providing all who watch them With a show they’ll like a lot.
