Photographic Highlights

Sung to the tune of "The Little Things"

It's the little things you do together
Do together
Do together
That make perfect performances
The roles that you pursue together
Credits you accrue together
Looks you misconstrue together
That make theatre a joy
mm hmmm
It's the little things you share together
Swear together
Wear together
That make perfect performances
Rehearsals you enjoy together
Co-stars you annoy together
Plays that you destroy together
That keep theater fresh
It's not so hard to be actors
When many maneuver as one
It's not so hard to be actors
And Holy Crap is it fun
It's sharing little winks together
Drinks together
Kinks together
That make dressing rooms a joy
It's tickets that you shop together
Habits that you stop together
Costumes that you swap together
That make perfect performances
uh huh
mm hmmm
It's not talk of love and the shows up ahead
that allow you to get through the worst
It's "I do" and "You don't" and "No one can see me,"
And who brought "the method" up first?
It's the little things
The little things, the little things, the little things
It's getting to the source together
Shouting till you're hoarse together
Getting really coarse together
That make perfect performances
Becoming a cliche together
Growing old and gray together
Learning that you're gay together
That make theatre a joy
It's not so hard to be actors, it's much the simplest of crimes
It's not so hard to be actors, i've done it 64 times
It's the people that you hate together
Date together
Separate together (ha!)
That make theatre a joy
The lines that you forget together
Critic's pans you sweat together
Going into debt together
That makes perfect performances
uh huh kiss kiss mm hmmm
