William Shakespeare The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene 1 PROLOGUE I open my eyes and am immediately assaulted by a rogue swarm of butterflies in my stomach. A lazy grin stretches across my face and I can’t help but let out a sigh of contentment. Despite the crazy circus in my belly, I have never been happier. The day I have been working towards all month has finally arrived; my wedding day.

" Penelope's eyes flickered at the words. She stood, slipped off the coat draped over her shoulders, and made her way calmly to Richard's side. "Break's over for me, Mr. Burton. Shall we pick up where we left off?" Richard, who had just been about to take a breather, was struck by her professionalism. He immediately called for Harriet. "This next scene is today's big one. The second lead finds proof of the third lead's betrayal. The third lead denies it, and the two clash." As soon as he finished walking them through the scene, Penelope and Harriet dropped effortlessly into character. But before Harriet could pull out the prop, Penelope suddenly charged in, grabbed her by the shoulders, and

The next scene shown was where the prince suddenly realizes the maid is in love with him. The curtains were drawn again and the prince came in but it was someone else but the viewers didn't know. He walked to the stage and sat in the bed positioned on stage. They were clothes on the bed while the prince was still shirtless. Selene made her to the Stage and stood in front of the prince. Thud! Her heart dropped in her chest when she saw the man acting as the prince. He sat casually on the bed with no care in the world. The lines Selene had rehearsed inside her head dissipated into thin air. She recognized him at one glance and there was that slight smirk on his lips it was no one but Rayne.

I’ll deal with her another time, she won’t be going anywhere. Ash looked at me, and I gave a small nod. “Let’s both,” he said, tearing off a match and striking it. Athena repeated the gesture as the female screamed and pleaded. Godfrey appeared next to me and clapped his hands. “I’m in time for the second act,” he said, as Diana fell next to him, out of nowhere. “No second act,” I said, as the flames roared, the fire quickly igniting Amaal’s dress. “Just the finale. The curtain call,” I said, as I threw my arm around Sebby.

Bo came back with a bowl of popcorn and slumped on the couch stretching out his legs in front of him. "I hope you're not eating my children's food, Bo," Rina said not looking at him and he just ate louder. "I'm gonna kill him." she looked at me and I smirked. "I'll help you," I said and she laughed. "Okay, go to Act 4, Scene 2. Rina, you are Ray and Khalil you're Kaleb." Zoe said and we paged, "set?" she asked us and we both nodded our heads, "remember it's just a script okay?"

"Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend." "Can anyone explain to the class what this passage is and does?" The

Make it look natural. “Alright, Can I get Luther and Daniella. You two are up next.” She announced and I was not so thrilled anymore. The part she said we should prepare for was when Luther confesses his love for Daniella. That part is close to the end of the play. We haven’t been going in order of the scenes. Ms. Judith says we just need to know what we are doing so we start with the difficult ones and end with the easier ones. The scene was at a parking lot after Daniella won the singing competition and everyone was going home.

“Don’t need to act. Just read. I need to hear it,so I can reply to the lines" I nodded and took the pages from her outstretched hand. My fingers brushed hers, then she stepped back, raised her chin slightly, and began. “So my character is Gina, she is the female lead. She had a misunderstanding with her boyfriend,Ken and this is the confrontational scene. It will be short. So to start ,call action for me.” I nodded. "Action!"

Director Cauan Santos pondered for a moment. He couldn't risk damaging Josh Angelito's precious face on the first day with a fight scene. “I know!” he exclaimed, snapping his fingers. “Let's go with Scene 28 from the first draft of the script!” Helena felt a chill run down her spine. As a screenwriter and editor, she knew every comma of that script inside out. Her eidetic memory instantly brought Scene 28 to mind, and her expression darkened.
