"all the world's a stage (dive)"

opening night. empty stomach. nerves. late.

makeup. half of costume.
jokes. banter. rehearsal.

"on in five"
red bull. rest of costume. second red bull. nerves. music.

backstage. darkness. stumble.

lights. line line dance line laugh line. off.
tiptoe. relax.

banter. tales. adventures.
intermission.

breathe. change. empty stomach. nerves.
cold wind. shaky.

backstage. glass in hand. on!

laugh laugh flirt line smile line frown. leave indignantly.

over. breathe. greet. clean. collapse.
