The Play's the Thing

There are two kinds of people 

in the world (it could be said):
those on the stage performing,
those in the audience instead,
the first, portraying life, explaining causes
while the second, understanding or disdaining
the performance grants/withholds applause.
But that's all wrong, the groups are three,
for backstage, in the sound booth, there you see
that others work their magic to present the show
directing, lighting, building sets, you know.

Don't even get me started on the playwright.
which I'd like to be one day, and might.
