Manicpixiedreamgirl (2013)
“She got no part at all, in fact.
“I’m sorry,” I told her at lunch the day the cast was announced.
“Thanks, but it’s not a big deal. I’ve got a tournament on opening night anyway.”
“You’ll probably take State,” I said.
“Yeah?” Syd asked, eyeing me curiously, as if my encouraging her was a bad thing. “Why’s that?”
“You’re smart,” I said. “And you don’t get nervous in front of people. You think fast. It’s a great fit.”
Sydney smiled and gave me a kiss.
Secretly I was relieved about Syd not being i...n the play. Because Becky did get cast. Scout Finch. Pretty much the female lead.
Which, honestly, I didn’t understand. Even after her bouncy performance last year in Midsummer, I was having trouble reconciling the quiet girl who ate lunch by herself with the energetic performer I’d seen onstage. In my stories, my Becky character typically became a world-renowned actress. And now at least—at last—since I was on the tech crew for the show, I’d get a chance to watch her more closely, see how she was around other people.MoreLess
