The Stage

‘All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.’ (As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 7) By Shakespeare If this is so I hope it’s more than one act. What of us who are mere understudies or stage hands? I don’t remember rehearsing for any parts-do you? My entrance wasn’t so grand my exit probably won’t be either. Hope I don’t fall off the stage and I know I don’t want any singing parts. What if I get Stage fright? does that mean I don’t get to act? Is this Broadway or off Broadway? Is it local theater? Whatever type I hope I can win a Tony!
