be on the boards

be on the boards
(be on (tread или walk) the boards)
выступать на сцене, играть, быть актёром; см. тж. go on the boards

Nor must you think that you demean yourself by treading the boards. They who write plays and they who act them deserve our love and esteem for they serve the good of the commonwealth (W. S. Maugham, ‘Catalina’, ch. 32) — Вы не должны думать, что вам унизительно играть на сцене. Те, кто пишут пьесы, и те, кто играют в них, заслуживают нашу любовь и уважение - ведь они трудятся на пользу общества.
