The Stage


The Stage:
A world unto itself,
Full of assorted players, dancers, singers

The Stage:
A place to unwind,
Be something different,
Not yourself

The Stage:
A transformer,
The creator of something beautiful:
A land, a feeling, a friendship, a smile

The Stage:
A place to experience,
To explore,
To fall in love with,
To learn

The Stage:
An ancient crafter,
Bringing aspirations, imaginings, hopes, dreams
To life

The Stage:
Beautiful in its plain black paint,
Embracing in its heavy velvet curtains

The Stage:
The bearer of absolute freedom
To those who cannot find it elsewhere

The Stage:
Springing to life for an evening,
Bringing sparkles to young eyes

The Stage:
Home.
