Maurice wants the male lead in the school play. The problem is that rehearsal is held for two hours every weekday afternoon for the next three months. If he gets the lead, he must quit his after school job at the mall. If

he quits now, the manager probably would not hire him for full-time summer work. Maurice desperately needs

the income to help his family pay medical bills.

sometimes chosen for Summer Theater. This often leads to a career in drama, which Maurice has always wanted.
