Fraud

Was at a college sponsored event, and some singer/magician was coming to perform. It was standing room only. Rumor was that Kate Bush was going to show up. The crowd was excited. I was in the front row, and when I leaned over to tell a friend I couldn't wait to see Kate Bush, she whispered that she knew for a fact it wasn't Kate who was opening.

Suddenly an announcement came over the speakers introducing the person. I didn't recognize her name but I watched as she wheeled out in a wheelchair. Meredith (a friend) who was also nearby ran out to the stage to help the wheelchair bound woman, and all of a sudden she pushed Meredith out of the way and stood up on her own and started dancing and heading to the microphone. It was all part of her act. 

Meredith was furious and ran out of the venue, and I could see through the windows that she was upset. The performer started playing the guitar, and through the windows I could see Meredith calling out for her mother.
