The Role of Her Lifetime

by Nanisi Barrett D'Arnuk

Overview

Opera singer Marie Jacolby lands the role of her life as a young Prince Charming in a new version of Cinderella. At the audition, she meets Jackie, a woman she's had her eye on for a couple years. Jackie could be the one Marie's always searched for. When a scripted kiss seems a bit more ... real, Marie wonders if Jackie feels it, too. Then a handsome young man drops Jackie off one morning, and Marie's heart sinks.
Did Marie read more into the kiss than she should have? Is Jackie straight?
To complicate matters, Ashley, an old flame who never wanted to settle down, is also in the cast. Ashley apologizes for how she treated Marie four years ago, and now wants to get together again.
With opening night approaching, Marie's torn between two beautiful women, and the decision she makes could have an impact on her blossoming career.
