Description
From the Back Cover
Here is a modern novel filled with the sights and sounds, the crushing disappointments and the glowing rewards of the real world behind the stage. Vicky Thomas knew in her heart that she could be a great actress, but Broadway producers wouldn’t take a chance on someone who had had only high school theatrical successes. The drama school of her choice was filled up until fall and, when hope for work with summer theatres faded, she resigned herself to a very hot, dull, and unrewarding summer at home. Then Vicky found an unexpected opportunity to start a Little Theatre group right in her hometown. As the director of the group, Vicky deals with a haughty temperamental actress and, with patience and ingenuity, transforms this amateur group into a really first-rate company. When a fire destroys their theatre, she makes an important decision that will please all with a weakness for grease paint and a love for the theatre.
