The stage lights shone down, creating a warm glow around her. Maria took a deep breath. Today, she’d be training her understudy, Olivia. She felt a surge of energy that pushed through her.

“Welcome, Olivia,” she said, her voice clear. “Today, we rehearse this scene.” She walked onto the stage, a familiar feeling of energy pulsing through her veins.

She showed Olivia the specific movements. How to deliver the lines. Every expression and movement was carefully explained. Maria shared her knowledge and years of experience. She walked through each scene with Olivia, again and again.

By the final run-through, Olivia was able to do the scene on her own. As Maria watched her, she felt an overwhelming sense of pride.
