The Theatre
Tune: Theme Song from “Arthur”
The theatre closed down for the winter
Summer arriving, the stage must be set
Props are dug up, the makeup taken out
Backstage the actors tremble
The lights are adjusted, the costumes fitted
The curtain is drawn, the play has come to life
Beams of the spotlight shine on Tapawingo, different actors, separate scenes
Players hiring laughter and love to each production
Performances go on (performances go on),
Friendships will grow strong (friendships will grow strong),
All summer long
Combining the lines we’ve written, our script represents the Tap traditions
One actor stumbles, another lends a hand
As the weeks pass, the acts blend together
Sharing with others the stage we treasure
At summer’s end, our finale unites us all
The actors join hands and conclude their show with pride
Special feelings, from inside
In the back of our minds, the show will play forever
Performances go on (performances go on),
Friendships will grow strong (friendships will grow strong),
All summer long
Summer arriving, the stage must be set
Props are dug up, the makeup taken out
Backstage the actors tremble
The lights are adjusted, the costumes fitted
The curtain is drawn, the play has come to life
Beams of the spotlight shine on Tapawingo, different actors, separate scenes
Players hiring laughter and love to each production
Performances go on (performances go on),
Friendships will grow strong (friendships will grow strong),
All summer long
Combining the lines we’ve written, our script represents the Tap traditions
One actor stumbles, another lends a hand
As the weeks pass, the acts blend together
Sharing with others the stage we treasure
At summer’s end, our finale unites us all
The actors join hands and conclude their show with pride
Special feelings, from inside
In the back of our minds, the show will play forever
Performances go on (performances go on),
Friendships will grow strong (friendships will grow strong),
All summer long
