The Magic of Theatre by Patricia Miller All of Life is Reflected on the Stage. Friendships begin in the most unlikely Places. Old Souls meet Again and Again … In the cool darkness of the Theatre My little Child comes out to Play. Shy at first, feeling her way gently, Discovering a world of Magic and Joy. She calls upon her secret self – with a Child’s willingness to share – her Gifts, her Talent, her Creativity, her Playfulness and Courage. To her Wonder, she meets Others who have come to Play and partake of the Magic; soft Lighting illuminates as they unveil precious Treasures to Share with this bright Company. Music adds its Harmony – a Melodic setting for expression – A kind of Prayer as she lifts her Voice in Song and knows sweet Longing, circling to Fulfillment. The Audience – Strangers at first, filled with Anticipation – add their Energy, bringing Gifts of Laughter and Applause to the Celebration. Sharing in their Delight, we weave a Magical Tapestry of Movement, Words and Song, creating a Bond as the Music carries its poignant Message to our Souls. ⭐ Softly quiet now, the Stage turns to darkness, the evening’s Playfulness draws to a close. The Child enfolds herself within me – Communing with my Heart – as we share the night’s Revelries. We have discovered kindred Spirits – Friendships that Unite us to a global Family – those who Joyfully share their Talents, their Passion, their Art. For when the Play is over, there are no Farewells – for us, no Final Curtain. Memories require only a sweet Adieu, until again we take a Magical Journey to this Stage.
