Poem by ‘Red and Brown Water’ Actress Iona Morris Celebrates “magic, mystery, song, dance”

Cast rehearsal, “In the Red and Brown Water”

Sharing this poem written by actress Iona Morris from the cast of  In the Red and Brown Water.

Magic, mystery, song, dance, lights, costume, set

We have all been gathered together, to again bring our best

As actors speak the words of an author who has bled for his story

Where we all get to creatively breathe life through it, for all its glory.

Every day each of us spends the time to be inspired with this script

To do our job passionately, for this is how we live

With the spirits of creativity, the Gods and Goddesses of imagination

It is us the artist, appearing in many forms who inspires all nations.

So, as your day goes, the hours tick and the minutes fly by

Take a moment to be thankful for the way you live your life

For it is no accident that you and me and all of us are together

Honey, the things we will do come October 20th, will be completely untethered

With magic, mystery, song, dance, lights, costume, set,

The director, the stage manager, pr, producers and support team we’ve yet met

Passion, truth, vulnerability blown wide, in this marvelous journey we lead here,

Will inspire the audiences who will witness your brilliance

at the magnificent Fountain Theatre!
