New York traffic had been kind to them so not half an hour later after they’d left the Italian restaurant they reached their destination. “Theaters are actually spooky during the day, aren’t they?” Lara murmured softly to her friend as the two of them made their way through the quiet and dark place, following the woman Lara believed to be Mara. The backstage had the old house smell but the actress was actually looking forward to doing some exploring. After a maze of corridors and halls, a vast room appeared before them– cluttered with clothes from all periods, shoes and wigs of different shapes and colors, all types of props lying around. “… Does anything in here catch your eye?”
“They are! Sometimes we would stay late for the rehearsals, it’s very scary when no one is around.” Valerie confirmed with a nod, following Mara to the backstage, surprised by the resemblance between Mara and Lara, but she quickly shrugged it off. Valerie had a chit chat with Mara, asking about Fiona and Matthew (the only two actors she genuinely liked from the troupe). Since Val was familiar with the space, Mara left the backstage.
With a smirk on her face, she immediately went for a ridiculous magenta dress that Fiona wore in a play, it took a place in 80s, so the color choice made so much sense. Next to the magenta dress, there was a bright orange one. “What do you think of these two?”
