Vanessa fidgeted with her hands as she waited outside Miss Lydia's office. She knew that she wasn't Miss Lydia's favorite person. She was already considered a troublemaker, and that was about to intensify.
Miss Lydia made her wait for nearly fifteen minutes before she was called into her office.
Vanessa cleared her throat and steeled her shoulders before entering the office of the producer of A Tender Heart. The Indy film had received much praise at the Sundance Film festival before being transformed into a musical.
The production had the backing of two big name investors and the casting call saw some of the most well-known names on Broadway vying for a part.
Charisma's agent had gotten her an invitation before the open calls and once she had secured her position, she had mentioned Vanessa to the casting director. It was the best Charisma could do, but the casting director remembered her name and during open calls she was invited back.
