Teateret på Roskilde Boarding School var fyldt med travlhed.

The teateret at Roskilde Boarding School was filled with activity.

Vinterens kulde, som sneg sig ind gennem de let åbne vinduer, blandede sig med varme fra scenelysene.

The winter chill that sneaked in through the slightly open windows mixed with the warmth from the stage lights.

Dér stod Astrid.

There stood Astrid.

Hun scannede lokalet med sit skarpe blik, mens Jens, teaterlæreren, gik frem og tilbage, en papirsejlbåd af ideer uden kompas eller destination.

She scanned the room with her sharp gaze, while Jens, the theater teacher, walked back and forth, a paper sailboat of ideas without a compass or destination.

"Astrid, kan vi måske rykke kulisserne tilbage lidt mere?"

"Astrid, can we perhaps move the set pieces back a bit more?"

foreslog Jens med hænderne fulde af manuskripter.

suggested Jens, with hands full of scripts.

Men Astrid vidste, at det ikke bare var kulisserne, der skulle flyttes, men også energien.

But Astrid knew that it wasn't just the set pieces that needed moving, but also the energy.

Mette stod alene foran spejlet i omklædningsrummet, med blikket fæstnet på sin refleksion.

Mette stood alone in front of the mirror in the dressing room, her eyes fixed on her reflection.

Hun tvivlede.

She doubted.

"Kan jeg virkelig spille hovedrollen?"

"Can I really play the lead role?"

tænkte hun, imens hun hviskede replikkerne halvhjertet.

she thought, while whispering her lines half-heartedly.

Astrid vidste udmærket, at showet havde brug for en drejning.

Astrid knew very well that the show needed a turning point.

Hun nærmede sig Jens.

She approached Jens.

"Jens, vi skal have en konkret plan.

"Jens, we need a concrete plan.

Tidsplaner, opgaver, roller – vi kan ikke tillade os at improvisere hele vejen."

Schedules, tasks, roles—we can't afford to improvise all the way."

Jens nikkede, lidt overrasket over Astrids beslutsomhed.

Jens nodded, a bit surprised by Astrid's determination.

"Du har ret.

"You're right.

Fortæl mig, hvad du foreslår."

Tell me what you propose."

Sammen udarbejdede de en struktur, som gav produktionen den tiltrængte orden.

Together they devised a structure that gave the production the much-needed order.

Jens gjorde, hvad han kunne for at fokusere, mens Astrid styrede projektet med fast hånd.

Jens did his best to focus while Astrid steered the project with a firm hand.

Den dag, da prøverne nåede deres kaotiske højdepunkt, tog Astrid en beslutning.

The day the rehearsals reached their chaotic peak, Astrid made a decision.

Hun samlede ensemblet og sagde: "Vi kan klare det her.

She gathered the ensemble and said, "We can do this.

Mette, dit talent er større end dine tvivl.

Mette, your talent is greater than your doubts.

Vi stoler på dig."

We trust you."

Mette så forbløffet på Astrid, men noget ændrede sig i hendes øjne.

Mette looked astonished at Astrid, but something changed in her eyes.

"Okay, jeg skal gøre mit bedste," svarede hun, nu med mere overbevisning.

"Okay, I'll do my best," she replied, now with more conviction.

Prøven fortsatte, og gradvis faldt brikkerne på plads.

The rehearsal continued, and gradually the pieces fell into place.

Skabet blev til en scene, og rodet blev til magi.

The disarray turned into a scene, and the chaos transformed into magic.

Da forestillingen endelig løb af stablen, strålede Mette i rampelyset som en stjerne.

When the performance finally took place, Mette shone in the spotlight like a star.

Publikum var betaget.

The audience was captivated.

Efter klapsalverne takkede Jens Astrid.

After the applause, Jens thanked Astrid.

"Uden dig, Astrid, kunne det her ikke være sket.

"Without you, Astrid, this couldn't have happened.

Du har vist en utrolig lederevne."

You've shown incredible leadership skills."

Astrid smilede.

Astrid smiled.

Hun vidste nu værdien af lederskab og teamwork.

She now knew the value of leadership and teamwork.

Teatrets vinterkoldhed kunne ikke overgå varmen fra hendes succesoplevelse.

The theater's winter chill could not surpass the warmth of her success.

Roskilde Boarding School havde fået en teaterproduktion at huske.

Roskilde Boarding School had a theater production to remember.
