Keywords Theater - School
Age YAAdults
A group of young adults attempts to learn theater, with all that it entails in terms of commitment, passion, and discipline.

This story unfolds behind the scenes, before the curtain rises, in that period that precedes the theatrical illusion. Jeanne, a young introvert, hopes to enter a very prestigious drama school and become an actress. From her auditions to her first classes, through comedies of error and dramatic asides, little lies and false pretenses, her initiation to the stage before the limelight is imbued with personal authenticity.
A story about being oneself before donning a costume to become somebody else.
