The stage directions reveal that "they are all as nervous as Malcolm." Each performer exhibits signs of anxiety: Jasmine is wringing her hands and whispering to herself, Lorenzo is pacing and examining his clipboard, and Julianne is biting her fingernails while studying a script. These behaviors indicate that they are all feeling the pressure and nervousness associated with the performance, similar to Malcolm.

(Malcolm looks at the other performers, and the spotlight follows his gaze. The spotlight first falls on Jasmine, who is wringing her hands as she quietly whispers to herself. After that, the spotlight follows Lorenzo, who is pacing on the side of the stage as he examines his clipboard. Finally, the spotlight focuses on Julianne, who is biting her fingernails as she studies a script.)
