Making an Entrance or Hidden Talents or Where in Creation Did He Learn How to Do That
"Ms. Davidson, may I make an entrance?"
May I make an entrance? Of all my advanced students performing monologues, Morgan is the only one who asked if he could make an entrance. Of course he's the one who asked; he's my brilliant one.
