Act One, Wish One
by Klasky, Mindy
(Previously released as How Not to Make a Wish.)
Stage manager Kira Franklin discovers a brass lamp in the back of a prop closet, complete with a gender-bending, wish-granting genie. Her first wish is easy – a job on a prestigious avant-garde production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Soon, though, Kira wonders how many wishes she'll need to succeed in that dream job. Her growing attraction to hunky actor Drew Myers rubs laconic set designer John McRae the wrong way… And John's stability may be the only thing reining in the increasingly bizarre demands of the play's quirky director.
With her professional reputation on the line, Kira has to wonder: What's a girl to do when she runs out of wishes?
