This's wonderfully done; but I do disagree about these characters not being talented actors/actresses, the whole Greek Drama scene was wonderfully done as a touch therein.
I heard from a teacher of my own that students tend to be stricter when evaluating themselves than the teacher is... and this is definitely one of my favorite scenes thus far that I've read of these stand-alone scenes you've got here.
Well-made, Badly-Knitted!
