Musical Dress Rehearsal
Who: Musical Cast and friends if invited Where: Academy Theater When: Tuesday afternoon NPCs: Other students in musical Warnings: Up to the sub-thread
The stage crew had outdone themselves. The set was masterfully done, at least in regards to a school musical. Thérèse was a bit disappointed in losing her star, but she was more disappointed in the fact that he had apparently turned a student. It wasn't too long ago that Leon had been attacked by another vampire, and she could only imagine what some of the other students were going to do now that it was an older vampire this time. The other unfortunate thing was that there was no time to take a break. The show must go on as they say. She couldn't allow the other students to be punished simply for the mistake of one person. She understood it was a horrible event, and she actually wished she could simply call off classes and try to figure out what was going on; however, the show was this weekend. Ms. Menides wanted classes to continue normally, and there were going to be parents coming in to see this. She felt as though she were being cold in doing this, but events that forced an actor to not be there were the purpose for understudies.
The stage was set. The music was playing. And everyone was doing their best.
After the main run through, Thérèse split up the cast into different groups to practice scenes she felt still needed a bit of work. She also had a few students whose outfits looked as though they may need a bit of work over to Kana to work on.
The music itself was wonderful. It was a little different from the original, but she applauded creativity; after all, she was a kitsune at heart.
There was a small refreshments table with a variety of fruit and vegetables where some of the students had chosen to gather and talk while they awaited their turn on stage again to work on whatever Ms. Edouard felt they needed to practice.
Finally, there were a number of students who were sitting in the theater simply watching and constantly being hushed by the drama director.
