"Ode to Theatre Adventure"
Lyrics by Leslie Kinney
Music by Rich Nethercott
Two years in and we’re here to stay
Thanks to your support we’ll put on a play
To act and to sing and move with delight
Our confidence builds, ain’t no stage-fright
And thanks to Zoom we can come from afar
If we’ve got our screens, no need for a car.
Planning, rehearsing for twenty twenty-two
Got some great shows to put on for you
The Curious Child’s gonna travel the world
With magical horses the tale’s unfurled
A time to discover and learn without rest
Returning to family and home which is best.
The Harmony of Friends with laughter galore
Meeting and greeting, conversation and more
Plus other emotions when friends gather ‘round
Sometimes there’s sadness and even a frown
But still we’re together through good times or bad
Friendship’s our thing, it makes us real glad.
We’ve got actors online, with puppets and art
And actors on stage, performing with heart
We’ve now gone hybrid, tech’s our means
To offer our shows on stage and screens
Your support is essential, there is no doubt
We dedicate this song and are sending it out.
We could not perform if it weren’t for you
Our performers need an audience or two
We’ll keep on acting, without much pause
But truth to tell, it’s more fun with applause
Or with comments left for us in a chat
To our watchers online, we give a tip of the hat.
So come on now, we won’t confound
Our story’s simple and yet profound
Everyone’s included, no one’s left out
Respect all abilities, our joyful shout
We kindly invite you to join our community
Theatre Adventure’s got the spirit of unity.
