Complete story — includes the ending

The new dramatic arts teacher Mr. Weber (Nicholas Hormann) is holding auditions for the school play Our Town, where Winnie and Paul audition. Paul is rejected while Winnie gets the leading role of Emily Webb, whereas Paul becomes heartened when he works on the crew alongside Kevin, who sees it as a chance to get out of gym class. When Paul falls ill, it's up to Kevin to run the spotlight, which he awkwardly does until Winnie's moving performance inspires him to realize the importance of being on a play's crew, and leads her father to move back in with her and her mother. Guest-starring: Nicholas Hormann as Winnie's dramatic arts teacher Mr. Weber.
