Make **it Happen

---

A highlight of this old gal’s teaching career…

Was directing the high school spring play…there was a method to the madness…in selecting the perfect play…

Had to draw an audience…cuz sh** happens…to dramas in Old Town…that daughter of mine in one formerly…no one came…absolutely…no…one…two rows of us parents…clapping loudly…

The script…must fit the talent that’s available…and had to have a big enough cast…so anyone who wanted…could participate…

With director me…we were a team…the spring play team…and year after year…players returned…grew in skill…and took on larger roles…

Was excited about an upcoming show…cute…funny…clever…royalties paid…set planned…the talented upper classmen had the skill to rock it…but instead…

They boycotted it…went to admin…didn’t like the choice…wanted to choose it themselves…director me…was sad…held auditions anyway…numbers were small…begged a couple of set kids…to take speaking parts…and guess what…

They…showed up…put in the time…the effort…became a united team…and made director me…so very proud…

So kudos…to those…who wanted change…and tried to make it happen…keep fighting for your cause…whatever it may be…

And bravo to those…who showed up…came in clutch…and made…**it happen…
​
And that audience of yours…agreed…
