Producing a play is no sonnet
'Cause there are so many troops working on it.
When the lead blows his top
'Cause he's missing a prop
The director cries "Get a grip on it!"

Today's word of the day is "grip": "A general assistant on a movie set responsible for handling production equipment, such as setting up and moving camera dollies, lighting, etc." [per Anu]

I wonder who the "most essential" person in the movie-making business will be in tomorrow's AWAD?

It probably won't be the "superstar". Everyone already knows who the superstar is. Just ask the superstar:

"I'm the most essential person by far",
Said the "B" flick's male superstar.
"I don't say a bunch
I just shoot and punch
And smash up a brand new, hot car."

"Everyone knows that it's me",
Said the leading lady, coyly.
"My wardrobe is scant
My lines I just pant
And that's what the boys come to see."

New version for themilum's discerning taste:

"Everyone knows that it's me",
Said the leading lady, coyly.
"My wardrobe so sexy
Makes the star go all flexy
Thumpin' dudes to impress me, you see."
