When Mom told me that she had bought tickets for the whole family, I started to wonder if I should have been honest about not being chosen to play in the show. They were so excited for me and everyone asked about it. I was unsure whether they would care as much if they knew I was only working behind the scenes. I liked the stage crew, after all.
No one could imagine how much I was in love with acting. I totally believed there was a chance that I would be the one who saved the show if somebody was absent. Once Susan missed the rehearsal(排练) for some reason and I volunteered to stand in for her and read her lines.
The show day came.
I woke up at a quarter to five. I had been so excited after the rehearsal the day before that I didn't get any sleep at all. The lights and the curtain(帷幕) the stage crew put up changed the gym into a real theater. Even though I didn't have to wear theatrical makeup, I did anyway. The smell of the makeup paint was enough to throw me into another world.
We had two shows that day, one in front of my schoolmates and the other in the evening for the public. During the school show, someone threw a paper plane onto the stage, and the director had to stop the show and teach everyone about proper audience manners.
Mr. Ellison said, “A live show is challenging. You just have to roll with it. You’ll get used to it. Make sure you’re here by six tonight, and tell the one you’re bringing to come early for good seats. We’re almost sold out.”
My sister Diana dropped me off at 5:50 p. m. The stage crew didn’t have to be there until 6:30, but I was excited, and I still hadn’t told my parents I wouldn’t be onstage. They could find it out when they saw the show—even my working behind the scenes helps make our dreams come true. I would deal with it then.
