"The Callback"

After the success of the school musical, Ash is eager to continue pursuing his passion for performing. He decides to audition for a local theater company's production of "West Side Story." Ash is nervous but excited about the opportunity to showcase his talents on a bigger stage.

During the audition, Ash impresses the director with his singing and dancing abilities. He feels confident that he gave it his all and eagerly awaits the callback list. However, when the list is posted, Ash's name is not on it.

Feeling disappointed, Ash confides in Isleen, who encourages him to keep trying and not give up on his dreams. Ash takes her advice and continues to audition for other productions, but he can't shake off the feeling of rejection from the "West Side Story" callback.

Meanwhile, Sarah, the struggling actress from "The Rehearsal," is also auditioning for the same theater company's production. She is determined to prove herself and land a lead role. However, during her audition, Sarah struggles to hit the high notes and feels defeated.

As Sarah is leaving the audition room, she notices Ash sitting outside, looking dejected. She strikes up a conversation with him and learns about his rejection from the "West Side Story" callback. Sarah shares her own struggles with rejection and encourages Ash to keep trying.

Inspired by Sarah's words, Ash decides to audition for another production of "West Side Story" in a neighboring town. This time, he nails the audition and lands the lead role of Tony.

Sarah also receives good news and is cast as Maria, the female lead. Both Sarah and Ash feel grateful for each other's support and encouragement throughout their journey.

As rehearsals begin, Sarah and Ash work hard to perfect their roles and build a strong chemistry on stage. They both feel a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment for landing such important roles in a production.

However, as opening night approaches, tensions rise between the cast members and unexpected events threaten to derail the entire production. Will Sarah and Ash be able to overcome the obstacles and deliver a stunning performance? Only time will tell in the upcoming chapters of "The Callback."
