Production in the Making
The ballad to belt
The number to master
Cold reading the script
Process of cutting
Awaiting to hear from the producer
Receiving an the ensemble role
You’ve also been cast as the lead's understudy
Lengthy evenings of rehearsal
Shimmying into ancient costumes
Determining your hairdo
The denounced hell week
Opening night jitters
Choral and dance warm-ups
Aiding others to get ready
Places... Showtime
The ever loved opening number
Act two
The final curtain call
Wacky after parties
Shedding a tear knowing you will never perform it again
This poem is about:
Me
My community
