PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE ALOT OF POINTS Read this excerpt from the passage.
"Only five minutes until showtime, people!" called Mrs. Kseniya to the crowd of students rushing around backstage.
"Great," Nancee muttered under her breath. "I only have a million things to do before then." Her friend Tremina patted her shoulder reassuringly.
"The costumes look great, Nan," Tremina told her. "After you finish hemming my skirt, everything will be perfect."
"Perfect? Hardly!" exclaimed Nancee. "It takes at least ten minutes for me to hem a skirt, and you are expected on the stage in five minutes."
"Three minutes," Sandomir corrected her as he raced past. He and Dmitry were attempting to assemble the backdrop before the curtain rose, and they both looked as stressed as Nancee felt.
"Forget it," Nancee said. "I'll just tape the hem on your skirt, and it will have to be good enough. I never should have agreed to design the costumes for this production."
"I'm worried about the show, too, but you don't hear me complaining," said Tremina. "It seems to me that your pessimism is more of a problem than our tight deadline." Nancee quickly taped the hem of the costume and thrust it at Tremina, who hurried to get dressed.
"Places, everyone," announced Mrs. Kseniya. Tremina began walking toward the stage when the heel of her shoe caught on the taped hem. She tripped and knocked over several of her fellow actors. One of the students fell forward into the backdrop, which then crashed to the floor. The curtain lifted at that moment, and the audience roared with laughter at the disastrous scene.
"Maybe I should change careers from actor to comedian," said Tremina as she enjoyed the sound of the audience's laughter.
"What a mess," Nancee moaned. "My career in show business is officially over."
