Living Room Theatre

Imagine yourself at home with family and friends,

all laughing and having a grand time.

It's Hallowe'en night and the spooky stories begin.

You know, the stories about skeletons rattling in the closet,

ghosts creaking the stairs,

pirates throwing you overboard,

gypsies telling your fortunes.

All at once someone hollers, "Let's put on a show!"

Scripts are passed around, costumes patched together,

chairs rearranged to create an audience.

A stage is marked off in blue tape, house lights are dimmed,

and then, right before your eyes,

the show begins.
