Description
After working outside of a community theater group's rehearsal facility, Dan is confronted by Rita, a local actor, who demands that he stop using the jackhammer in Ghostlight on Afdah. She watches him for a bit before asking him to participate in a Romeo and Juliet play. He initially objects, but eventually accepts the invitation as a means of escaping the chaos at home. He first plays Lord Capulet, but after some cast rearranging, he is cast as Romeo, alongside Rita. Dan has never performed on stage and doesn't even know the play's plot.
