Girlscout at PlayhouseSquare

We get on our bus and head downtown
Arrive at PlayhouseSquare and see the bright lights of the marquees
Take our seat with hundreds of other excited students
The lights go down, the curtain goes up and our smiles widen
We will always remember this moment – the show has begun!
