Chapter 7 Summary: “Melina, September 2023”

After the grueling workshop, Melina is exhausted but satisfied. The play has been performed, and the feedback is positive. Andre catches her arm to tell Felix that she is the actual author of the play when they are interrupted by Jasper, who asks to have a word with Andre privately. He tells Andre that he loves the show and that he wants to help transfer it into production.

Melina realizes that Jasper does not recognize her from their encounter at Bard. She also thinks that if he knows she wrote the play and not Andre, he won’t help it transfer. So, she continues to lie and tells Jasper that she is Andrea Washington, Mel’s assistant.

Andre is furious with her and reminds her that he has a day job. She promises to give him the money so that he can take some time off from the casting agency and write. Though he calls the idea an I Love Lucy-esque scheme, he agrees to help.

Jasper sets up a meeting with a producer, Tyce D’Onofrio. Melina has met with him once before for advice, and he told her that her female character was unbelievable while he was currently producing Sweeney Todd, a show about a cannibalistic barber.
