Drama (graphic novel): Difference between revisions

'''''Drama''''' is a 2012 graphic novel by Raina Telgemier.

 

 

Then Callie meets the identical twins Jesse and Justin. Justin wants to audition for the play, while Jesse is too shy and opts to join tech crew with Callie. It seems that Jesse forms a bond with Callie, as new leading lady Bonnie starts an affair with her costar West and berates Jesse since he's tutoring her in math. Can Callie survive the drama, and get that cannon working in time for opening night?

* [[Reality Ensues]]: Most works of media have it as a protagonist's shining achievement when they step in to take the place of someone during a play. Not-so-much here; Bonnie locks herself in the closet after Act One on the last night of the play {{spoiler|to cry after West breaks up with her}}. While {{spoiler|Jesse saves the show and gets a standing ovation from the crowd, the entire crew, teachers included, yell at Bonnie for her selfishness in refusing to perform for Act Two at the wrap party}}.

* [[Toe-Tapping Melody]]: The song that Maybelle sings with the leading role in ''Moon Over Mississippi'' is supposed to invoke this. It's the moment where she and the Union general have their first kiss, building up the dramatic tension. Callie is always entranced when Jesse sings it, partly because she has a crush on him. {{spoiler|When Bonnie bails on playing Maybelle on the play's last night after West breaks up with her, Jesse puts on the dress and replaces her. When he sings Maybelle's part, the audience and stage crew are equally entranced. He gets a standing ovation at the curtain call.}}
