two shows per day

the dinner theater
is full of stars yet to be
discovered.
they sing, they dance,
they know their lines,
they know where the lights
are pointed.
where to stand,
when to move.
two shows per day.
they are practiced in
the art of acting.
but the crowd is hungry,
seniors bused in from
new jersey.
they want dessert now,
more booze.
they are impatient for
this act to end, to have
the lights go up
and find their way to
the bathrooms.
