No show is completely over

The lights are dim

The stage is empty

The members of the audience have

gone back to daily life

But the echoes of what once was

Will ring forever in the memories

of all of us who helped to make it happen

The theater is magic

It is being a part of something larger

than yourself

In a world so often dimmed by hard times

and discontent

Theater is a heartening reminder that

wonderful things can happen

when we work together
