The spacious Audience seats weren't even half full. And the majority of the audience are either their family or friends.
The only audience who had nothing to do with the actors were the two male students who came to watch the play as homework.
Unlike the actors' parents, looking at the empty auditorium with disappointed eyes, the children looked nervous ever since they came to know that people were coming inside the empty auditorium during practice.
To ease the tension they were feeling, the children were chatting and laughing at each other. After a while, Director Park Ji-soo caught the children's attention with a clap as per usual.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes!"
The children, who were wearing modern hanbok, answered.
"Yes!"
There was also a change in the children's clothes due to the generous amount of budget. When they first organized this play, they just wanted it to end moderately, but from some point, they wanted to make an impact with a "real" story.
"Then shall we say our cheer?"
At the words of Director Park, the main character Choi So-young put her hands down. On top of it, Seojun and the other children put their hands as they gathered around in a circle.
The staff took turns taking a video of Seojun and the other children, shoulder to shoulder while smiling at each other.
This could be used as a material for the DVD.
"Spring!"
"Spring!"
"Fighting!"
The stage will begin soon.
Seojun looked around the audience with a turned-off microphone. Every child on the stage looked excited with tension and expectation. But no one looked worried.
Seojun smiled at their appearance. Seojun and the children knew that the stage they made is great.
"Let's get started!"
The beep- sound rang and the theater became dark.
Clap clap-
Everyone was amazed at the stage. They thought it would be a simple background like those from fairy tales because it was a children's play, but it was a real background that expressed the shaking of the houses and trees that would usually appear in fantasy movies.
The hometown of the main character, Spring, has been hit by drought for the past several years. Eventually, when his younger brother collapsed, she traveled in search of the Blue Dragon. She was hoping that the legend told by their ancestors was real.
Spring traveled from place to place and helped people, but in return, she would only receive some unknown glass ball. It was useless, but she thought she should give it to her younger brother as a gift once he is cured, so she kept it on herself.
(TL: The play's reference is Dragon Ball.)
The audience rubbed their eyes without realizing it. Are they really kids?
The stage equipment and props didn't stand out but everything seemed very real.
In particular, the children's natural acting, no, they seemed to be watching the daily lives of people living in a foreign country on the television.
There were some children among the audience who were new to plays. Their guardians thought, 'If I let my kids act on stage, would they be able to improve their acting skills?'
