Waiting “backstage”

The Ring has no backstage.
No wings.
No velvet-curtained places to disappear.
Our lobby is all of that.

When I work Front of House, I typically sneak in to watch the show.
But when I don’t – and sit at the box office – I get to watch another one.
Entrances and exits.
Quick costume changes.
Props being prepped.

The quiet focus before a cue.
The reset moment between transformations.

From my Ring-shaped heart,

Margherita
