Tons of auditions and meeting new faces
New choreo putting us through our paces
Soon there's shenanigans off in the wings
These are a few supercritical things
Singing so many songs about uranium (u-rain-yum)
Phyllis's cookies all making us say yum
Sciency puns and the laughter they bring
These are a few supecritical things
Kids singing and making loony hand puppets
Garbage cans and vacuum tubes turned to muppets
Big, bushy eyebrows on brainy drag kings
These are a few supercritical things
When a cue's dropped
When a scene's stopped
---PHYLLIS!!---
When something's gone wrong
Someone pulls off some supercritical thing
For this, The Sound of Neutrons!!!
Hitting our cues in an actorly fashion
No one wants a Premature Jack Reaction
Give Sam a slide rule, and on stage he'll thrust
This show's some wild supercritical stuff
Tech week sees many cast coughing and tired.
"The show must go on" is a phrase much admired
Lori's thyme tea fights off throats sore and rough
This show's some wild supercritical stuff
Opening night is a blast and a riot
Speeches and cake for those who came to try it
Eppo's diorama even lights up
This show's some wild supercritical stuff
Then suddenly,
COVID-19
Says our time is gone
We opened and closed
In the blink of an eye
But still, in that time, we shone,
And our DVDs live on!
