Everyone present is worried about the first impression they are creating. The director and resident staff of the theatre are in the position of hosts, anxious that their guests will be happy with the facilities offered. Some of the cast may be concerned about their parts and how they’re going to play them, some still raw from their agents’ unsuccessful battles to screw more money out of the administration.
