Theatre is a world that sets the soul aflame,
With all of its bits and pieces it's somewhat like a game.
When the audience is seated and the curtains open wide,
We step onto this theatre stage and the game comes alive.
There are characters that set out to achieve a common goal,
To give the best performances that they feel they know.
It's an exhilarating game to be in or be seen,
A chance to leave this life and be a mother, maid, or queen.
The audience's reactions say you've won this game of fun,
And you get your final pride when the curtain call is done.
