questions that follow.
Audition and Selection
More than a hundred young students turned up to audition
for a part in the famous musical ‘Romeo and Juliet’. The girls
were hoping to play the lead role of Juliet while the boys
wanted to be Romeo. Those who got through the audition
would have a chance of having a role in the musical.

Everyone waited in the school hall to register. They were
each given a name tag with a number. Then they were
ushered into a theatre. It was an agonising wait. Each one
was asked to introduce self in front of a panel of teachers.
The actual audition took only five minutes, but the teachers
took a long time deliberating before calling the next person.
Most of them were so nervous that by the time they
stepped on stage, they were tongue-tied. Some began
stuttering, much to the disappointment of the teachers.
Those who mumbled were immediately told to leave. There
was a look of irritation on the teachers’ faces. It had been
stated that only those who could project their voices should
go for the audition.

After three hours, it was clear that one girl stood out. She
was tall and beautiful and she spoke articulately. She looked
like a seasoned stage performer. Another boy was equally
