Show Night
by Justine Marler, age 11

At night the flashy silver letters of Marin Theatre Company stand out in the dark sky.  Upon entering, one immediately smells the delicious treats waiting in the corner.  You hear the hammering of workers repairing last-minute props backstage.  You see directors running around with clipboards and pencils wedged behind their ears.  You feel your stomach flip with the excitement -- the show is about to start!

"Thump, Thump,"  four actors from the Stinky Cheese Man production are noisily making their way down the stairs backstage.  Once behind the curtains, I waited for my cue.  I watched as Chickin' Lickin' waddled onstage for her part, the audience were loving it!  I nervously adjusted my fox ears.  Then it came.  My cue.  WIthout thinking, I jumped onstage feeling the warm comforting rays of the spotlight hit my face.  I smiled.
