It is only in a place like this
where chatter and claps
harmonise with rustles, hiccups
and crunching gnashers
It is only here where roars
of laughter can be followed
by silent hushes
And always…..
a buzz sizzles through
the atmosphere
on a great night out
-at the Theatre

Oh… I love the excitement of that hush… sometimes that is a reason in itself to visit a theater … I will go to reading on Tuesday, so you set me in the right mood with this.

Theaters were my office when I was an actor; that hush is the sound of butterflies in flight just before the first word of dialogue.
