What do I have to do to get a part?

I would like to thank The Englishman for the subject matter that helps hold this erotic theater experience together. And now for our story . . .

Students are trying out for parts in a middle school version of A Midsummer Nights Dream. What they don’t know is that the director has already narrowed it down to one young actress to play the role of Titania and he insists on personally educating her how to act out the role. Sounds kinda highbrow at first, but give it a chance and watch what he does with/to the girl to make sure she gets into the role. Grab something to drink or smoke and sit back and enjoy Maddie’s journey.

Act 1- Innocence Slowly Lost

Dr. Johnson had dismissed the other candidates but allowed Maddie and Michael to stay. Michael was only there to add to the legitimacy of Maddie staying by herself. He had just asked Michael to kiss Maddie, pretending that he was Oberon, one of the characters in the play.

“You call that a kiss, boy?” sneered Dr. Johnson. “You looked as if you didn’t want to kiss her at all. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather be kissing a boy?”
“No sir,” said Michael with unaccustomed boldness. “I like Maddie and I was happy to kiss her.”
“You’re not supposed to be happy about it – this isn’t a sex education class. But you are supposed to at least appear happy, to look as if you want to do it. I wasn’t convinced at all – a pretty feeble kiss if you ask me.” The sly teacher turned to Maddie and said, “How did you feel about that kiss, pretty girl? Did it feel as if he meant it?”

“I thought we were just acting, sir. I didn’t stop to think about whether Michael meant it or not,” said Maddie, unsure as to what answer the man wanted. She suspected that whatever she said would be turned against Michael and that seemed unfair but there was also a petty irrational desire to please the teacher too.

“No such thing as just acting!” snapped the teacher. “Acting springs from the heart and the soul, not the words in some damned script. I’m sure a pretty girl like you has been kissed before, so how did this boy’s puny effort compare with other boys who’ve kissed you?”
“I haven’t been kissed before, sir. That was my first kiss.”

“Then I’m sorry for you that your first kiss was such a dismal one. I can only hope that the next man who kisses you makes a better job of it.”

“I think you meant boy, sir – the next boy who kisses me,” Maddie corrected the teacher nervously, aware that his meaty fingers were caressing her upper arm.

“Who knows?” answered the teacher dismissively. “Anyway that’s enough for now. You’ve both done enough to earn the chance of an audition but only just.”

“This year the school drama production, which I am producing and directing, will be ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. This is the synopsis and a scene from that play,” said the teacher with an unpleasant smirk. “It’s a complicated plot about confused identities, treachery, betrayal and love – lots of love – and just to make the plot even more confusing, there is a play within the main play. Michael will play Bottom who is a character in the main play but also has a part in the mini-play inside that.”

“Is my character in the main play?”

“Absolutely! You are playing Titania, the beautiful queen of the fairies and the wife of Oberon, the fairy king – it’s all there in the script I just gave you. Now I want you both to go into the corner and read quietly to each other – get to know the sense of the scene and then we’ll see how well you understand your characters and how good you are at bringing them to life. Is that clear, Maddie?” She shrugged off his insolence and coupled with Michael to review their lines.

Her part was Titania, the queen of the fairies which pleased and flattered her immensely. According to the script, Oberon, the king of the fairies sends his prankster servant, Puck, to acquire a magical flower, the juice of which can be spread over a sleeping person’s eyelids to make that person fall madly in love with the first thing he or she sees upon waking. Puck obtains the flower, and Oberon tells him of his plan to spread its juice on the sleeping Titania’s eyelids.

The scene opened just after Titania had woken after having the charmed potion applied to her closed eyes. Apparently Michael was to play the part of Bottom, whose head had been magically transformed by Puck to that of a donkey. It was equally apparent that Michael had no lines so it made no difference whether he could read them or not. She realized it made sense now that there were no lines for Michael’s character. Obviously with the head of a donkey, he would be unable to speak anyway.

“Well, let’s get started . . . what are waiting for?” said Dr. Johnson rather abruptly. “We’re wasting time here. Put the blanket on the ground and lie down on it as if you’re sleeping. Then I want you to wake up and stretch. Look around you as if you’re still half asleep and not sure where you are.” Maddie reluctantly arranged the blanket as instructed and lay herself down.
“Okay, good,” said Dr. Johnson in a kinder softer voice. “Now wake up slowly – lots of stretching.” Maddie began to understand that her teacher’s voice was soft and gentle when things were going right and she determined to obey his instructions as far as she could. For some reason she wanted his approval, she wanted to please the man. She opened her eyes and stretched her arms out, yawning widely.

“Good, very good,” encouraged Dr. Johnson. “More stretching now, straighten your legs and arch your back, put some real effort into stretching – convince me you’ve just woken up.” That sounded easy enough and the young girl did as he directed her, unaware that the arching of her back was causing her little breasts to strain against the fabric of her thin blouse and her stretched legs afforded a view almost all the way up to her panties. Maddie might have been unaware of her display but the camera he had turned on next to him on a tripod didn’t miss a moment of it and its powerful zoom lens made the most of the opportunity.

“Bravo!” encouraged the teacher with warm enthusiasm. “Very well done! Now, you’re awake but you don’t realize that Puck has spread the love potion on your eyelids while you were sleeping, remember?” Maddie nodded eagerly, unaccountably happy to have earned praise from the teacher. She began to think for the first time that she might be able to actually do this.

“Good, so the effect of the potion is to make you fall madly in love with the FIRST creature you see when you wake up. Remember this is a comedy but you have to play it straight. Only the audience sees the joke that the beautiful ethereal fairy queen will think she’s madly in love with an idiot who has the head of a donkey.”

“Okay, now Maddie, I want you to really show me some real acting. You’ve just woken up and the first thing you see is Bottom. The potion makes you think he is the most beautiful creature you have ever laid your eyes on and you instantly fall madly in love with him. You have to show the audience how much you love him. Touch his face tenderly and stroke his beautiful ears.” Maddie reached up and followed the teacher’s instructions.

She gently touched Michael’s ears and pretended to look at him with absolute love in her eyes. He also moved his hands up and caressed her shoulders and then boldly moved his palm over her breast. Suddenly she became uncomfortably aware of the tingle it caused in her tiny sensitive orbs. She soon realized that her developing breasts were ultra-susceptible to touch and they didn’t seem to care who or what stimulated them.

“You need to relax more, my dear, with a boy’s normal affections,” said her teacher, his voice a little gentler and kinder now. Secretly the teacher knew he would be playing what he just saw over and over again in his office with his pants unzipped, and longed to be the next one to fondle her hopefully naked cones.

“Michael, I have seen enough of you on stage for today. I will be having more tryouts later this week and I want you to be a part of them. For now, I want to work with Maddie alone and see if she is really ready for this part,” he said. Michael was surprised by his abrupt remarks and gathered his backpack, said goodbye to Maddie and left the auditorium.

Act II- Enjoying Her First Joint

“Your parents DID sign the permission slip allowing you to be here until 6:00,” inquired Dr. Johnson, looking at his watch.

“Yes,” said Maddie. She watched Dr. Johnson march up the aisle and lock the doors to the auditorium.

“You need more work Maddie, and I am going to demonstrate what must take place if you want this part . . . do you understand?”

“Yes sir,” she said.

“I just watched you act surprised when Michael touched your chest. First of all, if you truly love a boy or man, you wouldn’t object or make a fuss if he accidentally touched your breasts would you?”

“I-I don’t know,” mumbled Maddie. “I suppose not,” she admitted, embarrassed and uncomfortably aware of Dr. Johnson’s eyes almost caressing her tingling breasts with his eyes.

“Of course you wouldn’t make a fuss I mean who could blame a boy for wanting to touch such beautiful breasts – they might be very small but they’re just as pretty as the rest of you.”

Maddie blushed and squirmed in her seat, uncomfortable at having her teacher talk so personally about her budding breasts, especially as he was not bothering to hide the fact that his gaze was now more avidly fixed on them than before. What made it worse was despite her embarrassment, her breasts were tingling in a way that appeared to suggest they liked being talked about.

“If you get the part, it does not matter who plays Bottom. You have to act as if you love him,” shrugged the teacher. “It seems to me that Michael was more into his role than you were in yours. Perhaps you need some of that love potion that Puck put on Titania’s eyes…”

“But that isn’t real – it’s just a made up story” protested Maddie. “There’s no such thing as a love potion in real life.”

“I see,” murmured the teacher, nodding as if he understood perfectly. “You have to understand that none of this is real. It’s just a story and it isn’t just the potion that is make believe. Our job as performers is to make it real, to bring it all to life for the audience and make them believe that even the potion is real.”

“I wish the potion was real,” muttered Maddie realizing she might be losing this part unless she could start acting more genuine on stage.

“So, if there WAS such a potion, you’d be happy to use it if it helped you to act your part on stage?”

“I suppose so,” confessed Maddle. “I really want to be Titania but I’m only in middle school and it’s kinda difficult sometimes trying to act like someone older.”

Well I’m pleased to hear you say you want the part because the moment I saw you, I knew you would make the perfect Titania. So pretty and delicate and so tiny, exactly like a real fairy queen – you’re perfect for the part.”

“D-do you really think so,” asked Maddie, feeling flattered despite her reservations about the teacher.

“I may be able to help with your problem,” he said softly. “I haven’t got any love potion but I do have something that will help you to relax and it may even make Bottom look a little more attractive to you.”

“That sounds a bit like a magic potion,” said Maddie with a faint smile.

“It kind of is but there’s no magic about it.” Without any hesitation, he lit the joint he had in his pocket and took a long puff on it to make sure it was burning well. Then he offered the joint to the trembling and surprised young girl. She shook her head emphatically.

“I don’t smoke, sir.”

“Of course you don’t smoke. What kind of teacher would I be if I offered tobacco to a student anyway? This isn’t tobacco – it’s just a herb that lots of actors use to calm their nerves before a big performance.”

“I’ve never heard about anything like that,” murmured the youngster nervously.
