After the Ball Page #2

Synopsis: After the Ball, a retail fairy tale set in the world of fashion. Kate's dream is to design for couturier houses. Although she is a bright new talent, Kate can't get a job. No one trusts the daughter of Lee Kassell, a retail guru who markets clothes "inspired" by the very designers Kate wants to work for. Who wants a spy among the sequins and stilettos? Reluctantly, Kate joins the family business where she must navigate around her duplicitous stepmother and two wicked stepsisters, but with help from a prince of a guy in the shoe department, a god-brotherly gay pal in the design office, her godmother's vintage clothes, and a shocking switch of identities, Kate exposes the evil trio, saves her father's company, and proves that everyone can wear a fabulous dress.

Absolutely it should be you, Kate.

Yeah, we need to

support her right now.

Yeah, she just had that humiliating fall.

We all saw it.

Excellent idea.

Come on, Katie.

Okay.

Um, excuse me.

There's a screen right there.

How hard is it to change into something.

Yeah. How hard?

We have a good variety of fabric.

Where is it written that every

piece must come in five colours?

On the requisition orders you signed.

No, I only sign those

things for the pieces I like.

But you signed them.

Well, I like it better already.

Okay, as instructed by

the powers that be,

I stripped down the design.

That's what happens when

you take away the fun.

We're not focusing on fun, Maurice.

Our customers are

worker bees who shop...

during their lunch hour.

Girls, I'd like you to come up

with something better so go back...

to the inspiration board

and for everyone else,

we're done. Bye-bye.

I want the two of

you to supervise Kate.

I thought she was too good for retail.

She is.

I don't think she'll like it here.

Why not?

Why wouldn't she like it?

There's free coffee and donuts...

Tannis, she's saying she

wants us to get Kate to quit.

Oh, yeah.

Um...

I'm-I'm Daniel by the way; From Shoes.

Hi.

Hi.

Is it always like this?

Oh no, normally it's really tense.

Kate?

Forget him, honey.

He's been single so long

I think he's forgotten how.

Kate. Now.

I left my stuff back there.

Do you guys think I

could change out of this?

Why?

Way better than what wearing before.

And this room hasn't

been sorted in years.

Okay.

How do you want it?

Uh... sorted.

Yes.

That will do.

Be nice cause she's

nice and you're not.

Hey.

Um, I have some ideas for this dress.

It's very nice already, Maurice.

Please, I hate it.

Elise noted it to death at sample.

Um, okay,

well, there's-there's

two darts at the back.

Um, if you left out a

panel the waistline is...

Oh, I love this.

Very Twiggy.

Yes, 60s, right?

And with these buttons I found...

we've got thousands of them.

Kate, if I wanted you to have

an idea I'd give it to you.

Yeah, where'd you

think I get all of mine?

So, is the accessory room all done yet?

Uh, no, nope.

I should... well, I

just, I should get on that.

Yeah.

That was not nice.

Tannis?

What?

Get in here.

Okay.

Kate, you're seriously

wearing those overalls to work?

Is it bring your shame to work day?

I'm sorting buttons and

I needed the pockets.

Sorting buttons when you should

be designing and they know it.

Right now I'm just paying my dues.

And I don't wanna give Elise

a reason to tell him...

that I'm not working out.

Just remember to push

for what you want.

All I want right now is a cab.

Yes.

After graduating from the creative writing program at York University in 1985, Sherman co-founded What Publishing with Kevin Connolly, which produced what, a literary magazine that he edited from 1985 to 1990. Before establishing himself as a dramatist, Sherman's journalistic works such as reviews, essays, and interviews appeared in various publications, including The Globe and Mail, Canadian Theatre Review and Theatrum.

Sherman's first professional productions were A Place Like Pamela (1991) and To Cry is Not So (1991), followed by The League of Nathans (1992, published in book form in 1996), which won a Floyd S.
