What is your reason for being here?

Not an ethereal question.
On SW.
I know everyone has different reasons for being here, but have they been satisfied, or have they changed as you have spent more time here?
I wonder what the point is, my reasons.

let's get rid of the middleman altogether. ah, by the way...I'm really about goin on alone from here. I liked your company and input, but...fiscally, I've been advised to let you go..

@atlantic59 wouldn’t be the first time, won’t be the last, but imma gonna keep on keeping on!

[] Thanks, in the best of 'theatre world' apologies. It's a tough business and my dismissal is, as you know, not in any way indicative of your talent or your ability to carry a show on your own, -it's just economics and the fact that you might have been trying to over-shadow me.

@atlantic59 sadly I’ve heard this speech a million times before, and not just on stage in front of the bright lights, but also in the back rooms of dirty offices where the real players play

@Ghostinthemachine and for the first time, I am going to stand up and say: World: He is the real talent. I am giving it all up to show that I won't stand in the way. You are the real deal. I don't need any more glory. I have birds and skunks all around me I feel liberated to no longer play the game. Go and shine, Mr. Knight...I feel proud!

@Ghostinthemachine what goes on in those back rooms eh? Ever been on a 'casting couch' where they really aren't listening to your eloquent delivery...

Ghostinthemachine · M

@atlantic59 Why thank you...thank you all! And I just would like to...wait....Mr Knight? I think you have the wrong person😳

atlantic59 · 61-69, M

@Ghostinthemachine Don't. Not now! Not after what I've given up for you...!

Ghostinthemachine · M

@atlantic59 if you think I’m gonna keep up this facade, youve got another thing coming!

atlantic59 · 61-69, M

@Ghostinthemachine Yeah I do have another thing coming, -it's bills for your missed shows. Inadequate stand-ins, audience walk-outs, basic lost revenue. Yeah star, I have lot's coming.

Ghostinthemachine · M

@atlantic59 when I become the star that I’ve always known I could be...would be, I’ll cover all of your lost expenses. Hollywood and Broadway never forgets the little people. The check is as good as in the mail!
Farewell, faithful friend

@Ghostinthemachine I'll admit I still tear up when you say that. It's always been one of your most believable performances. If only I didn't know the real you...
