Renewal

In the mail, a supplication: Time now to renew. Your yearly fee for discount tix Is very shortly due. I see a lot of Broadway shows And small productions, too. The TDF* sells tickets To boost theatres’ revenue. Of course, all stages still are dark. There won’t be a debut Of any long-awaited drama, Concert or revue. And when will I feel comfortable To crowd in with a slew Of other theatre-lovers, Their proximity taboo? The answer is a big unknown For I don’t have a clue When my Broadway visits will resume; I’ll likely miss my cue. *Theatre Development Fund

Clever ending, ilene. My daughter and niece had worked hard on a community play that had to be canceled, disappointing many. This pandemic has really gutted the arts. Nice write.

Nice one ilene written with feeling and conviction. Indeed the arts are going to have a real problem getting back to what was normal. Take care, Blessings, Gordon

I feel for the people working in the arts. My honey was a performer (dancer, choreographer, clown) for over twenty years, if he had not already retired from it I'm sure he'd be thinking about it now. His last big gig was Cirque du Soleil, apparently the owner who sold it might be buying it back at bargain basement price. xomo

The Entertainment industry has always been a tough row to hoe; now they all sit in lockdown wishing they earned a buck from all the re-runs on TV and internet! Best hold on to your cash until you can safely attend and performances earn your applause! Well caught and scribed! Aloha! Rico
