The whole story here:
The Silent Songbird
By Katie Stem
Madison kept hearing about the auditions for the school musical, and she smile confidently each time. With her magnificent talent for singing- her friends had nicknamed her “The Songbird”-Madison felt certain that she would be chosen for the leading role. On the evening of the auditions, Madison amazed the judges. When the selections began, Madison was the clear choice for the lead role, outdoing her rival, Abigail.
When all the roles had been assigned, Ms. Stimson, the drama teacher, looked at her lists and then at the assembled students. “We don’t have many participants this year,” she said frowning. “We need someone to take the important position of theater assistant, or the show can’t go on. Do we have a volunteer?”
The actors stood silently looking at each other, none of them willing to sacrifice a cherished role on the stage. Just as Ms. Stimson sighed and began putting away her papers, telling the students that the production would be canceled, Madison raised her hand. She volunteered to become the theater assistant. Ms. Stimson, relieved, thanked her and said, “This job is very important, Madison-you’ll be the fire that fuels this whole production.”
Quickly, Madison learned that her job was indeed the biggest and most difficult in the whole production. Over the first few days, Madison was asked to help construct sets, and during breaks she helped design and create costumes. Madison was disappointed to have lost the lead role, but she found some consolation in her new task, which required numerous skills she hadn’t realized she possessed.
As the production developed, Ms. Stimson assigned Madison to become the understudy for Abigail, who had taken the lead role. Sometimes Madison rehearsed with Abigail, which was the most difficult task of all. Abigail acted like a spoiled Hollywood star and was about as pleasant as a rattlesnake to Madison.
Still, Madison kept doing her best. On the opening night of the show, the whole cast and crew were nervous and excited-Madison perhaps most of all. As she worked to coordinate the sets, lights, costumes, and actors, she realized that she had been involved in almost every aspect of the entire play. When the play was over, the audience stood to applaud the cast, with an extra round of applause for Abigail.
Madison stood quietly at the corner of the stage and watched. She knew she might not be gaining the most praise and attention, but she felt proud that she’d done so much to make the production a success.
