Casting Calls — Annette Rochelle Aben
There
Were once
Crowds cheering
Performances
She gave on the stage
Lunatics and sidekicks
She nailed the character roles
Always dreamed of Broadway one day
Stardom wasn’t ever a concern
It was work that wasn’t work, just plain fun
When did it happen that life took over
Met the man, took the vows, footlights dimmed
New circle of friends, new career
Her turn in the audience
Decades of twists and turns
Now she is alone
With memories
Auditions
Grease paint
Scripts
