Is the W H O L E W O R L D
a Stage
or just
Y O U ?
There could be an argument made
either way. . .
but before the Tony Awards
are passed out
and you hit all of the
Congratulatory Parties
lets take a look at
T H A T
l i f e:
Sometimes it’s not the
multiple scenes
the various acts
the witty dialogue
the sensational
musical interludes
or even the much needed intermissions. . .
O F T E N
it’s those momentous
s o l i l o q u i e s
that take their direction
from the inner chambers of the
h e a r t
or even more intimately
the depths of the soul
that makes any ocean appear
s h a l l o w
Sometimes. . .
it’s a scene of a blank stage
narrowly shot
ON P U R P O S E
for effect to illustrate
just how much we block out the
p e r i p h e r y
where some of the best action
a c t u a l l y
takes place;
maybe after all–
we’re all wondering if what happens behind the scenes
is more important–
more interesting
than anything that takes place
front
and
c e n t e r;
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. . .
Quiet on the Set
The Spotlight is on
and it’s catching little dust particles
floating around in the air
while it seeks you out
front and center
to illuminate
that the best scenes
are those
yet to be acted. . .
but don’t discount all of the other previous
p a n o r a m a s
e a c h
have advanced the plot
for the most fantastic
A C T
of
N O W
Quiet on the Set. . .
