Glory and OPEN
This was a disaster! As if Glory didn't have enough to worry about already, having the lead role in the ballet. Even now, so close to the actual performance, Glory could still barely believe that she was playing Alice. She had, of course, put countless hours of work into her performance, but none of that seemed to matter today. The tightness of her costume wasn't just distracting, it was restrictive, and Glory had made more than enough mistakes as a result. Apart from which, the costume was so tight that every part of her was on display; she felt almost naked.
During the first break, she crossed the stage with her head down, trying to keep her movements short and quick to limit the amount that her costume would chafe against her skin. She really hoped that they could fix this soon - she wasn't sure how she was going to make it through the rest of the rehearsal when the only thing that fit her comfortably was her shoes.
