Globe's backstage

While students arrived to the theater and they calmly enjoyed their plenty of time, down the stage a billion things were happening.
Down the stage were the staff, teachers and the ones in charge of the opening (including me). Nerves were hunting everybody, but still everybody was in a good mood and the environment was very nice.
The staff and opening participants start arriving since 7:00 am for getting ready for the show. The opening participants were all being maked-up, dressing, rehearsing, and some were even having breakfast.
The time of the inauguration came up. In the backstage everybody was running. The stage was totally alone except for the program conductor, Flavio Valencia, who is also an UVM teacher. The crowd was now full, you could even see people standing. While this places were in a mistery and thinking about the show going on, downstairs, a big circle of students holding up their hands was praying for the opening to be as good as it could. And so it was.
But while everybody enjoyed the opening, backstage was in a really run. Some participants had a double acting, that means DOUBLE DRESSING! For example, three of the dancers of the first part were the cheerleaders at the My Chemical Romance playback. They only got 2 songs for switching clothes, and that was in front of everybody! I was seen in underwear, but the hurry was so big that there was no time for shame.
Hopefully, everything went really good and no technical problems happened. If you were in the crowd, would you think of all these while you watch the show?
