Phantom of the Opera

Laying down her monogrammed handkerchief, Phoebe pushes away from the makeup table and answers the door for her best friend, Shaye Marie, to enter the dressing room.  It was both friends’ debut night in the Phantom of the Opera. Phoebe was starring in the coveted role of Christine, and Shaye Marie had won the role of her best friend, Meg.  Phoebe and Shaye Marie laughed nervously as they finished each other’s makeup, and Shaye Marie dried Phoebe’s nervous tears with her handkerchief. Finally ready, they raced through the hallway to the stage and took their places awaiting the curtain rise.
