“Cyrano!” She said with a grin. “I’m excited. It’ll be great! It’s one of my favorites.”

(Just realized we skipped casting day lol)

(Works for me lol we can say it was supposed to be Monday and let the kids have the weekend to practice instead of saying Friday like planned?)

“Oh, it’s delightful!” Sadie said eagerly, lighting up.

Meyer smiled a little; he liked when she got animated like this.

“It’s about a Frenchman who has a comically large nose. He’s super witty and just generally has excellent dialogue. I’m really excited. We’re casting on Monday.”

"Ah, very cool!"
"Do you have any candidates?" Mary asked.

“Um… yeah.” She nodded, hesitating to reach for her water. Meyer glanced at her, noticing the slight shift in demeanor, but didn’t comment on it or step in to rescue her yet. “I mean, I have a handful of kids who have told me they’ll audition, anyway. We’ll see which ones actually follow through and have their lines memorized in time.”

"Fair enough," Mary chuckled. "I bet it'll be good, though. You seem like you have a solid idea of what good acting is."

“Thank you.” Sadie smiled a bit and dipped her head. “I’m excited. We’ve got some great kids so I’m sure they’ll do a great job of it. Especially since a lot of the dialogue is funny so it entices them to learn.”

"Definitely. I think we need more comedic plays, honestly."

“For sure… well, I mean, this was written hundreds of years ago so not sure it counts as ‘more’ but definitely worth every adaptation it’s goes through. It’s a masterpiece.”

"Maybe I'll give it a watch at some point soon," she said. "Seems like it'd be fun."

“Highly recommend it.” She nodded. “If you’re going to be around for a while, you can borrow my VHS of it. I left it at the school, though. Have been showing the kids some clips to give them inspiration.”

"That'd be nice." Mary dipped her head. "Thank you! Would a library have it though?"

"...That's a good question." Sadie scratched her chin, thinking about it. "I guess it would depend on the size and quality of the library. Kind of doubt the one in town would have it, it's a little..." Shitty. "Small. Can we--?" She turned to look at Meyer.

He knew exactly what she was about to ask and was already smirking.

She hesitated, blushing a little. Was she really that predictable?

"We'll make sure they have it," Meyer agreed with a nod and a bigger smile. "No worries."

Sadie grinned great big and glanced back at Mary. "If they don't have it yet, they will in a few weeks."

"We are slowly but surely stocking the library with all of Sade's favorite books and videos," Meyer said with a chuckle. "Make sure everyone has access to the things she loves."

"That's really admirable of you," Martin said, impressed. "Very cool! I bet the librarians just love you guys."
"This library could use a little freshening up," Nicholas mused.

Sadie smiled modestly. "Healing the inner poor child, one gifted book at a time I guess... but yeah the librarians are wonderful! They're miracle workers for no bigger than their budget is. Always lovely to chat with them!"
