Journaling...Friday Fiction: Theatre

Today is Friday Fiction at The One-Minute Writer.  The prompt is Theatre--Write a brief bit of fiction using the prompt "theatre."  From C. Beth...Friday Fiction is your opportunity to write a short (short, short, short) story. Many participants use more than one minute for Friday Fiction prompts, and I open up the One-Minute Writing of the Day contest to entries of various lengths.
