Role Play

“We can give Bayla a different role… Let the star role go to someone who deserves it”

Sheva Handler is the perfect play director: tall and charismatic, flashing eyes and dramatic intonation, and a knack for turning every sentence into a Speech worthy of the stage. But I’ve worked with her for enough years to know I can stand my ground, because not always is drama everything.

“I agree that Bayla could do it. I just don’t think she should,” I say calmly. “Chavi Bergman did an excellent job in the tryouts, and she’s a hardworking, solid student who never had a chance in the limelight. She deserves the main part.”

Unlike Bayla Davidson. I let the words hang in the air, unsaid but obvious.

“Chavi Bergman doesn’t need it as much as Bayla does.”
