The School Play

Question

Finally the big day had arrived. It was opening day for the school play, and Carly had the lead role. Carly and the rest of the cast had been practicing after school for nearly two months. They were anxious and excited at the same time because this was the first time that the fifth grade students at South Elementary were putting on a play, and the whole community was eager to see the children perform. Mrs. Johns made sure that all the sets were ready and that the costumes were just right. All of the students had learned their lines carefully.
As the curtain was about to open at the start of the play, Carly suddenly became frightened about performing in front of so many people. She then realized that she was prepared and thrilled to be acting in this play. She took a deep breath and practiced her opening line in her head. Just then, Mrs. Johns raised the curtain, and Carly forgot all about being nervous. All of the students quickly got into character and performed perfectly. The first fifth grade play was a success!
