Center Stage

The backdrop of performance and small-town life adds so much charm—I'm curious whether the author has a background in theater or if this world was built from research.

There were moments that felt a bit slower, especially when focusing on character interactions. Do you think this was intentional to build atmosphere or could it have been tighter?

It added depth to the story, but I wonder what inspired the choice to make personal revelations such a core part of the plot's tension.
