Unlike yesterday when everyone was a lazy bunch of snails, our crew steps up their game and gets to work. The room is brimming with energy. Our actors quickly change into their costumes, the production team can be seen setting up the scene and holding cameras, and the rest are typing suggestions, silent but ready. 

"Quiet on the set!" Mr. Miller yells.
"3, 2, 1, action!"

Yet again, we are filming the Brights, two of Dr. Dusty's clients. Our actors are practicing improvising with their lines to sound less awkward. To everyone's relief, we get through the whole act without a single mistake. 

The next couple, the Speedy's, steal the show once again. The actors starring as the Speedy's, Jackie R. and Jason W., run onto the stage and dash through their lines. The actors make a few mistakes, so substitute CEO, Chase P., decides to run the act again. Arguments over whether the Speedy's and Dr. Dusty should "dab" on stage are heard throughout the classroom.

The class tenses as the camera rolls. A sigh of relief is let out when Chase yells "cut!" to signal that the act is OK. 

The next couple up is verryy interesting. The tallest girl in our grade, Jackie VB, and tiny little Ciaran S. walk onto stage as the class murmurs and giggles. Jackie and Ciaran star as the Cores, as Jackie is dressed in a green shirt holding a green apple, and Ciaran is dressed in a red shirt holding a red apple. 

Thankfully, Jackie and Ciaran use much more expression in their voices. Unfortunately, the actors are having a lot of trouble reading their lines from the cue cards on the Chromebooks placed around the room. Mr. Miller recommends using an app called Teleprompter, so the class downloads it.  

The act sounds so much better on the final roll.
