What are you doing here?

Let's go, dinner's at 5.

Hey, Rog, a word? Hey.

Who's directing this show, huh?

We had a deal.

OK. Shh, shh, shh. - Full creative

control. That's what we talked about.

OK, OK, shh.

Camilla, you know camp policy.

I can't start

making exceptions...

I know, I know.

And you never have,

but this...

is different.

- Your mother's role?

- You said yourself

she would be proud.

I will allow the audition.

But she will be

treated like every other camper.

There is a process.

This is bullshit!

: Let me see! Move!

You two, I knew you were

gonna get them. I knew it!

- That is her.

- She's one of the cooks.

- Buddy!

- Congratulations.

Hey.

Who's gonna cover your shifts

when you're in rehearsal?

You are.

Roger took her and her twin brother

in after their mom was killed.

The night thee originated

the role of Thofia.

- What? That's impossible.

- No, it'th true.

Ten yearth ago thith thummer.

Thuper cool, right?

I'm surprised. I didn't know

you actually wanted to hang out

- with those...

- Those what?

Mom was a theatre geek.

Kylie Swanson slept

with so many people on Broadway

they called her

The Great White Lay.

They live in a fantasy world.

I don't want you

to get sucked in.

I'm not getting sucked in.

You people make me sick!

- Sound off

- One, two - Sound off

Three, four - When you come

to Center Stage, the show...

Mom, being in an enthemble

ith really thtrething me out.

Uh, Victor Brady, please.

It's about the showcase

at the camp.

This weekend.

Camp.

Yes.

Thank you.

F*** me in the...

Never mind.

Congrats.

Thanks.

So, I guess now you owe me one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Welcome to

Limelight!

For those of you who are new,

I'm your stage manager,

David Martin.

I'm here to make sure that

the show goes on no matter what,

and I will do

whatever it takes.

Well, except go on stage -

I don't do that.

Hello, stage fright.

But backstage, make no mistake: I run

the space and you will feel my wrath.

J/K, I love you guys.

- Oh, my god!

- But there is a process,

and without further ado,

Herr Director.

Woo!

Woo!

What is at the heart ofHaunting?

- A love thtory about...

- It's about covering.

Covering up who you really are.

And isn't that the scariest

thing of all? That's why I'm

going to reinvent this entire

production and cover it

with a postmodern face.

Now, who can tell me...

what Japanese tradition

involves covering...

your face all in white?

Bukkake.

Kabuki?

And that is why my version

of Opera Ghost will wear

not just any mask,

but a kabuki mask.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you

the new face of Opera Ghost.

Whitney?

OK, everybody. That's it.

Remember:
off-book by Thursday.
