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.
