I realize this is an old gag, but it's a fun one everyone can participate in!

Finish this sentence (one response per post, please, so everyone gets a chance): "If all the world's a stage..."

"If all the world's a stage, why am I the only one who seems to know the lines and blocking?"

Slight deviation:

My sister got me a shirt that says "All the world's a stage, and I'm calling all the cues." :)

All the world's a stage, so where's my understudy?
I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least. -Ionesco

If all the world's a stage, then the Stage Manager must be God.

If all the world's a stage, I need to speak to the designers.

I'll add what's in my signature: "If all the world's a stage, where's my stage manager?"
