Acting Class |
| Act I: The Quiet Life |
| I sit alone all day |
| Far removed from center stage |
| I memorize my lines |
| A thousand words I’ll never say |
| Preparing for the big audition |
| I call you on the phone |
| In the morning Saturday |
| You ask if everything’s okay |
| And wait so patiently |
| Through the awkward silences |
| I never have the nerve to ask you |
| Childhood wishes |
| Dirty dishes |
| I will show you everything |
| Act II: The Butterfly |
| They typecast me as dull |
| I deserve a better role |
| An understudy to the man |
| That sleeps inside of this cocoon |
| I will rise above this stage fright |
| Still I have the butterflies |
| In my stomach |
| In my heart |
| Life is a performance art |
| Someday soon I’ll speak my soul |
| Shed my skin and fly away |
| Free of every inhibition |
| A reversal through rehearsal |
| I want some understanding |
| I want some understanding |
| An acting class will teach me |
| To be myself completely |
| I want some understanding |
| I want some understanding |
| Nobody knows for certain |
| What lies behind the curtain |
| Act III: The Final Bow |
| Class is beginning finally |
| Three units of group therapy |
| Twenty people in a room |
| Wearing many different lives |
| Like picking clothes |
| For an important party |
| Still I have the butterflies |
| In my stomach |
| In my heart |
| Life is a performance art |
| Someday soon I’ll speak my soul |
| Shed my skin and fly away |
| Free of every inhibition |
| A reversal through rehearsal |
