Parameters
by Laurie Kolp

Two-hundred pages of guidelines to read
All of them detailed like some sort of creed

Six months of preparation for one short week
With deadlines, physicals, monologues to speak

Label belongings and follow these tips
All caps, black ink on two-inch medical strips

Seven pairs of long pants, two jackets a must
Maybe a cold front will hit New York in August

Dance clothes, shorts, t-shirts, underwear, oh my
Socks, shoes, towels, pillow, sleeping bag to fly

40s outfit and accessories from head to toe
The “time capsule dance” party a fun show

Speaking of shows, the final day an Off-Broadway
Culminating the week in a musical stage play

Just a few parameters to follow precisely
Important tasks so the workshop runs nicely
