OMG, I am on stage and all eyes are on me.I think I know my lines…but just knowing the lines is not enough.
This scene is different. There is no more the luxury of dress rehearsals and the stakes are high. It is all improvisation now. I am a novice here. I should be nervous. I let the play unfold and watch everyone do their part.
There are big wigs on the stage with me and I know them very well. They are the “worshipped” ones. They think they can steal the show. They have in the past – but I will put a tough fight. After all, I do know my lines.
I deliver.
The applause begins and never ends….The curtain falls.I bow and get off the stage.
The next day…The curtain rises again….
Presenting .. “The Pay Cheque Fortune”
The same scene with new characters. I think I know my lines….Do you?
