Welcome ladies and gentlemen
To the 8th wonder of the world!
The flow of the century, always timeless: Hov!
Thanks for coming out tonight
You could’ve been anywhere in the world
But you’re here with me, I appreciate that -song “Izzo (H.O.V.A) by Jay-Z
For the actor…
You and your character could be anywhere else in the world tonight, but the play calls for you to be right here, right now, under these given circumstances, with these other characters, fighting desperately for what you want.
You know who else could be anywhere else in the world tonight but chose to be here with you? The audience.
So, for yourself, your character, your fellow actors on stage, the play, the playwright, the designers, the stage crew and most especially, the audience…
Fight, man! Raise the stakes! Play your actions to the motherf-ckin hilt! Live dangerously. No turning back.
Cuz that’s what makes it theatre. Live. Special. Magical. Ephemeral.
Here today. Gone tomorrow.
Blood and guts. Leave it all out there on that stage. Play like a champion.
