Gloria
loves to sing, dance, and act in her bedroom, but not in public. No way. Gloria's
big problem makes sure of that, following her wherever she goes and constantly
reminding her that she's anxious and frightened, that she's not good enough,
and that everyone will laugh at her. Anxious Gloria worries all the time, about
everything. Until, one day, Gloria summons all her courage to try out for a community
theater production. She marches herself to the audition, and her big problem
marches right in behind her. She gets up on stage, and her big problem takes a
seat in the front row and starts to laugh at her. And then at last she yells "STOP!",
and her big problem shrinks to a little problem, and Gloria wins a part in the
play.
