Play part

Alice was an aspiring actress attending auditions every day. One day, she received a call for an audition for a play. Excited, she started preparing for her audition. She practiced her monologue and rehearsed her lines properly.

At the audition, she gave her best shot. The casting director was impressed with her performance, and he complimented her on how perfectly she portrayed the character’s role.

A few days later, Alice received a letter saying that she had been selected for the play. She was overjoyed. She was so excited that she called her best friend, Lily, to share the news.

When Lily asked about the role she had been selected for, Alice replied, “I’ll be playing a significant play part.” Lily, being a non-theatre person, didn’t understand what that meant.

Alice explained to her that a play part was another term for a theatrical role. It’s the part or character that an actor plays in a play.

Over time, Alice’s career grew, and she played more and more significant roles in plays and movies. It all started with a simple crossword clue that introduced her to the world of theatre lingo.
