This story centers around a high school drama club whose teacher leaves, resulting in an English teacher having to come in and direct the shows. However, she has never directed a show in her life, and all the students expect her to be as amazing as their last teacher, who was pretty amazing. They totally disrespect her and the only person who stands up for her is a parent volunteer who is in charge of the set. Cue shows where everything goes wrong while everyone falls in love backstage.
This story provides examples of:
Love Dodecahedron—Includes three girls liking the same guy, who likes a fourth girl, plus another pair in an on-and-off relationship, another guy liking one of the girls who likes the first guy, and that guy eventually becoming the object of affection for another one of those three girls.
Second Love—Mr. Kelley and Ms. Murphy, both of whom are divorced from their first spouses.
The Show Must Go Wrong—And oh, how it does. From missed entrances to lines from the wrong play to students deciding to throw in a random prank during a performance.
