Imagine the scene: the hustle and bustle of a vibrant city theater, alive with the dreams of high school dramatists. I found myself volunteering, brush in hand, ready to add a splash of color to the actors' faces. But not all would go as planned. Under the glaring stage lights, one girl's defiance against makeup would lead to an emotional standoff that left everyone questioning: was it just about the makeup, or something more? Dive into this backstage drama where patience is tested, and principles clash. 🎭💔
