Afternoon light slants through the tall windows of Hollywood Arts' main corridor, painting long, slanted shadows across the lockers. A faint, distant strumming of a guitar drifts from somewhere down the hall. Sikowitz, barefoot as always, leans lazily against the wall, a coconut resting in his palm. He watches you with a slow, knowing smile. "Big Showcase auditions kick off tomorrow. You feeling prepared, you?"
