A confession of a background guy

Hi Sirs and Ma'ams- Thank you for being my kind and generous friends- ... Twenty years ago When I was in madison wisconsin I took a class Two credits worth Backstage craft class In year 1999 or something ... I got a B in that class Perhaps I fell asleep once or twice lol ... My job was a boom box operator Taking care of the levels of microphones And background music and Ambient sounds ... It was madison wisconsin university Campus event A live play On stage In theater ... I did apply For audition But they did not select me ... But I took the backstage class And I participated As a technician A sound board operator A very humble job About two decades ago ... But I did enjoy The live theatrical production In madison wisconsin university campus ... It was not broadway musical in manhattan ny Or hollywood california But still ... It was a romantic comedy Madison wisconsin Back in 1999 I wanted to be cast as an actor I did take the audition But the did not select me They chose others ... But I think the casting directors did a good job ... As a sound operator I watched those Selected actors and actresses Perform rehearsals Again and again And they did it so well I was a huge fan- ... And as a sound operator I watched those actors and actresses Rehearse so many times ... I saw them making mistakes And I watched them Play on stage So so well... ..... And I was Proud To participate As a sound technician In the background Some unsung hero ... We Small people We do play a part ... And I thank Today High and almighty God That I was bestowed That one wonderful Theatrical play In madison wisconsin Again and again In rehearsals In live play production performances ... I was a huge fan They did it so well All those actors and actresses Who got selected Who got chosen When I was not ... Still They did it so well And I did enjoy Watching them perform And When they were done I stood up And gave them A standing ovation ... Although They Actors and actresses Never once noticed me As I was in the background Backstage craft A humble sound operator ... //!-) Hi Sir- I sent the following to my boss family and I thought you and your wonderful family might enjoy reading the story perhaps- Happy spring time, Sir- --from MatSu Valley //:-
