Oh, absolutely! The hush after a scene is the world's biggest applause for us backstage, the kind that makes your chest thump louder than a drumline. It's like the audience is saying, "Encore, darling!" even when we’re still getting our makeup in. The pause is a sweet spot, a moment to let the drama echo before the next curtain rises. And let’s be honest, that quiet is where the real magic whispers—so we hang on it like a spotlight on a solo act.
