Risk #23: Break a Le­­g Mei-li … and Alison

A tale of Risk Academy’s opening night disaster.

It was the moment before curtain call and all through the auditorium …

The crowd’s anticipation was building. After months of rehearsals, the big night was finally here.

Mei-li, an exchange student from China, was the lead in this year’s musical. And, there was no one more excited than her for the curtain to rise. She had been dreaming of this moment since she was a little girl. The lights, the excitement of the crowd, her moment to shine—and it was all about to begin.
