A bundle of nerves build up as places are being taken

Shaking as you peek through the curtains to see what's going on

Swallow it up as you enter on stage

Sigh in relief as you exit stage right

Only left is the curtain call

...And then what?

All the practice, the nerves only for two performance?

Sacrifizing many long hours to make perfect

Only to look like an idot on stage for little over an hour

The question might be "Dear god! Why did I do this?!"

Or more accurately "What do I get out of this?"
