Morning Rehearsal
Following breakfast, Dan made her way to the rehearsal hall where she met up with other performers for their morning session. They spent hours perfecting their movements and harmonizing their voices as they practiced various scenes from different plays.
Lunch Break
Taking a break from rehearsals, Dan went out with friends to grab lunch at a nearby restaurant. Over steaming bowls of noodles and plates of stir-fried vegetables, they discussed everything from recent performances to personal lives.
Afternoon Rest
Returning home after lunch, Dan decided to take a short nap before resuming rehearsals later that afternoon. As she drifted off into sleep once again filled with visions of stage performances and intricate dance routines.
Dinner Before Showtime
