When a shortage of decent male actors threatens to shut down the high school senior musical, a reserved teenager is coerced into being the romantic lead of her rival but she has more than acting on her mind as she finds herself falling for her costar.

>>. Drama teacher sees lead actress arguing with another girl and sees the chemistry that she wants in her two leads. Two girls have a fairly antagonistic relationship since the one girl wrote a bad review about a play the actress was in in the school newspaper, hence the rivals. So the teacher and lead actress convince the other girl to take the part and the two girls fall in love.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.? So how is that supposed to work out practically?? One of them plays dressed and made up as a guy, right?

I suggest it might make for a? stronger character if the protagonist volunteers to play the guy role.? ?The incentive? is professional as well as personal;? it's a greater dramatic challenge, one that will look good on her acting resume. (Played Stanley Kowalski in 'A Streetcar Named Desire.' )

So the teacher is the one who has be persuaded.? The protagonist auditions and the teacher is persuaded. She gets the role.

Comedy and complications ensue.

fww

Does the lead character have a goal? And if so, what is standing in the way of the goal? (I only ask because in the logline (As written) events are happening to the lead character instead of the lead character taking action, but that could simply be a logline issue)

OP here. Thanks everyone for the feedback. I struggled with this, obviously, between being too wordy but not being too short where the plot doesn't come across and I haven't hit that yet. For a little more background, here is a better synopsis:

Auditions for the high school senior musical come to a standstill when they can?t find a male lead with enough chemistry with the drama club?s star actress, which leads to an unconventional casting choice by the drama teacher. After witnessing the chemistry between her lead actress and her school rival as they argue with each other, the drama teacher persuades the other female to play the romantic opposite instead of a guy. Both leads find themselves in the uncomfortable position of life imitating art as they start to develop feelings for each other while facing increasing scrutiny and opposition from their friends, family and the traditional high school norm.

So it's basically there are no decent acting guys to play the romantic opposite with suitable chemistry with the lead actress. Drama teacher sees lead actress arguing with another girl and sees the chemistry that she wants in her two leads. Two girls have a fairly antagonistic relationship since the one girl wrote a bad review about a play the actress was in in the school newspaper, hence the rivals. So the teacher and lead actress convince the other girl to take the part and the two girls fall in love.

Does that help clarify a little?
