THEATRE DANCE Walking down into Higgins Hall’s basement, the last thing you would expect to find is a theatre. Among the empty coffee cups, cigarette butts, loose floor boards, broken props, old furni- ture, wood scraps, and dirt, there lies a theatre. It is here that the miracle of Pratt theatre reveals itself. What appears to be a storage room for the campus becomes an intimate theatre for the highest in quality produc- tions. The sets are built, the cos- tumes sewn, the lights are all put in place. You've read the script a hundred times and by now you have learned your lines. The early mornings, late nights, and endless rehearsals are all behind you. You know who you are, what you are, where you are, where you've PFT IT VW TT TITTY TT been, where you're going, and what you want to do, just as long as you're not thinking about that when you say you're lines you'll be fine. As the final touches are applied to your make-up, but- terflies fill your stomach. We've all been told a million times about the world being a stage and it’s people mere play- ers—now you're about to find out. The time has come. The stage is set. The house lights are turned down. That magical mo- ment has arrived where dreams can become realities. Pratt sud- denly looks different. You're given your cue...the curtain has risen...the spotlight awaits you... and the applause.
