behind the scenes

A man stands alone on stage holding a broom in his hands.
I want her to shine during the show, O Attiyah.
Shakes his head in satisfaction. He finishes sweeping the plank, and leaves as he looks behind the curtain to the theater seats that are still empty.
He sits on his wooden chair behind the worn curtains, ready to pull the rope.
He had to work in a fancy restaurant this morning, like the rest of the week, for extra hours, for his children's need for money when they entered school, and was no longer home for a break.
Remembers the beginning of his involvement in the theater for more than twenty years, did not go away from him, and did not delay the date of the curtain. Although he had little to pay for the bench and the box office worker, he did not look for another job. But he always changed his other morning work, and sometimes rejects some tempting offers of work if the dates coincide with the date of raising the curtain.
Remember who passed it:
The great artist Y., who used to bless him, and other workers, gifts on occasions and holidays;
And the artist Z., which was coming before everyone to drop its role on the stage before the audience entered the hall;
And director MG who was losing his temper on everyone before and during the show, and no one in the joke after the end of the show;
The young actor L.R, who visited his little daughter in hospital during her illness, brought joy to her heart.
The audience begins to enter the theater, and is gradually filled with noise.
He remembers the tragedy with which the weeping of the audience was carried;
A comedy show in which the audience continued to shout for hours on end, until the next day they were warned by their neighbors because of loud laughter during the night;
He remembers the day when the show was canceled because of storms and rain;
And do not forget that strange night when the management of the theater apologized to the public for the follow-up of one of the plays, and returned the money to them after the end of the second season, because of a call reached the director of the band from a source "high."
The memories of him, interrupted by a voice says:
Get ready. All in place. Attieh, five minutes and raise the curtain.
