This is theater, the show must go on

Context: "Results: total four people, all of us drama club members. (One of our usual members called in sick.) Nobody from the general public. But we had a good time: each of us had a story or reading to present. (We skipped "Tell-Tale Heart".)"

I joked to the others:

"This is theater. The show must go on!" with the affirmative implication that we are always capable of meeting the challenge of life, and that the show will go on under whatever circumstances thanks to our indomitable spirit. (Or words to that effect.)
