Show Me the Place, 30


“Show me the place.”
Duke Senior in As You Like It (2.1)


30: The Harmon School Stage: 1975–1978, 1982–1997

The Harmon stage, though not complex,
Became for me a magic scene,
Where talents, skills, and intellects
Were on display—there to be seen.

I watched those players, year by year,
And felt from them an energy—
A deep devotion (it was clear)—
Devotion that affected me.

From musicals to silly things—
To 8th grade shows and more—
A face contorts, a sweet voice sings—
An orange and puzzling folding door!

Yes, dancers, singers, actors—all.
The bolt of sweet surprise.
How much I loved—and can recall—
And tears still flood my eyes.
