The characters

Soire is an ordinary high school student with no acting experience. Longing to become someone special and step out of the spotlight-less life she knows, she decides to audition for the troupe. She is shy, easily overlooked and prone to following others.

Matinee was a child acting prodigy and has been devoted to theater since she was young. She is now a lead performer in her high school drama club and a great admirer of Hirata Odile’s plays. Though cool and reserved, she also has a passionate side.

Hirata Odile directs and writes for the Yumemakura theater troupe. Driven to create plays that pursue “ultimate realism,” she is a friendly, determined figure in the theater world, with a more flamboyant appearance than the actors.
