DRESS REHEARSAL SYNOPSIS

The eve-of-performance dress rehearsal of a costume show is in progress and things are running anything but smoothly for the local drama group. The whole cast is panicking and, to make things worse, the authoress keeps storming on and off the stage putting everybody in a flurry. However, when all seems lost, Mrs Grandway, the producer, pulls the show together.
