Dialogue1
Alexa: I was thinking that maybe we could go see a play
this weekend.
Cooper: What's on?
A: There's a new musical at the Orpheum theatre this month.
C: I don't really care for musicals.
Are there any Shakespeare plays on?
A: There's just A Midsummer Night's Dream on at the Poseidon.
But, we just saw that last year.
C: What's playing at the Caldonion Theatre?
A: I think that's where a famous Italian opera singer
will be appearing tonight in The Magic Flute.
C: We could go to see that. Do you think there are any tickets left?
A: I thought you didn't like musical performances?
C: No, I said that I don't like musicals, but I do like operas.
They're different.
A: I see. I heard it's supposed to be a great performance.
C: Maybe we should invite Meg and Aaron to go with us.
I remember once that they said they love operas.
A: That's a good idea. We haven't seen them in a while.
That would be fun. C: I'll give them a call tonight after dinner.
A: And then I'll call for tickets.
C: We make a great team, don't we?

Dialogue2
c: So, are you enjoying the performance so fur?
A: Well, the costumes and the set are marvellous,
but the acting is a bit stiff. What do you think?
C: I think you're being a bit critical.
The actor in the lead role is fantastic.
I suppose the chorus could be a bit better, though.
A: Do you know anyone in the play?
C : Actually, the woman playing Ophelia IS a past classmate of mine.
A: Really? Is that why you wanted to come to the play?
C: That's only a part of it. I absolutely adore this director.
Every play he works on turns out great.
A: So you've seen other plays that he's directed?
C: Quite a few actually. By the way, after the play,
there's always a big party for the cast and their friends.
My friend has invited us. Do you want to go?
A: Sure, I'd love to meet the cast! Have you ever been in a play?
C: I've never had a part in a play before,
but I used to be a part of the stage crew in high school.
A: What did you do?
C: I helped build the sets and find props for the plays.
What about you? A: I once helped out with costumes,
but I didn't enjoy it very much.
C: Why not?
A: I spent over three weeks sewing sequins on a coat.
C: -That sounds kind of boring. Oh, look.
They're dimming the lights. I think we should get back to our seats
for the second half of the play.
