The final curtain has come down. The show is over. Tomorrow, I will no longer be a kitchen. Tomorrow I will be a blank canvas again, waiting to see what comes next. The things my boards have seen! I have held up the tiny feet of fledgling ballerinas. I have been the scene of battles, betrayals, and events as tragic as the end of the showmance between the leads not two hours ago. Maybe it will be music next time. A solo banjo act or some such. That will be fun. A bit of a change but that’s theater, right?
