Real-Life Decision Making

You are a stage director. You're responsible for getting a show together from scratch. You must see to it that the show comes off without a hitch.

Your job is to get the right bunch of people together and guide them through the process of putting on a show. You can only relax when the curtain goes down to the sound of applause.

Your friend Ann wants to play the role of Abby in your upcoming musical, Curry Day. Over coffee, she leans toward you and says, "Look, you know I'm great for this role. I mean, I really want it. So when will you know who has the parts and stuff?"

Your pal is really enthusiastic. She has spunk and a good personality. Although she'd probably pull off the role of Abby, there would be no flowers showered on her after the show. As actors go, she's quite average.

Libby James, on the other hand, would be perfect for the role. With over 10 years of experience on Broadway, she is a natural-born actor. Too bad she's got a huge ego and attitude problem. Quite frankly, you don't like her. She's loud and pushy. She would certainly be a good Abby, though.

Complicating matters is the fact that your pal Ann is struggling with money. This musical would see the actors paid very handsomely and this could certainly boost your friend's fortunes, not to mention spirits. But what about Libby?

What do you do?
