who: henry and hailey ( @ensembletm ) where: the starlight theatre, downtown hatchetfield
Trying to mount your own production proved a bigger task than Henry Hidgens was expecting. Despite his countless years working within the Starlight Theatre, there’s still hesitation among the staff when it comes to his original piece. He’s reworked the script over and over again, combing through for any sign of errors, but Henry can’t find what’s wrong with it.
So, as it stands, he sits in a vacant chair along the first row (center stage, of course). Quietly, he thumbs through script after script, eyes rolling at the choices he’s been given. Pop culture drivel. He doesn’t notice right away when the chair next to him creaks open, but when he turns to see the face of the visitor, his grimace deepens. “Auditions aren’t until next week,” Henry explains to a very eager Hailey Dilmore. “And if you’re here to try and weasel show information out of me,” he closes his binder, “you’re going to be very disappointed.”
