Â
Speaking in front of an audience terrifies Trisha. Ending up in Mr. Wayneâ€™s drama class is the last thing she wants! But Mr. Wayne gives her a backstage role painting scenery for the winter play. As she paints, she listens to the cast rehearse, memorizing their lines without even realizing it. Then, days before opening night, the lead actress suddenly moves away, and Trisha is the only other person who knows her part. Will the play have to be canceled? It wonâ€™t be an easy roadâ€”when Trisha tries to recite the lines in front of the cast, nothing comes out! But Mr. Wayne wonâ€™t let her give up, and with his coaching, Trisha is able to become one of his true masterpieces.
