Oh Gawd i could fill a page with these. But i'll try not to. Ok so right now were currently doing The Crucible by Arthur Miller (About the Salem Witch Trials if ya didnt know) I'm playing Parris by the way! Whew!
-So we're doing the scene were all the girls are in the court room and they're asking me (Reverend Parris) if i caught any of the girls dancing naked. We end up stopping for some reason and my Director is like "BE FREAKED OUT MORE YOU JUST SAW THEM NAKED!" and one of the girls is like "The only one naked was Ashlee Mom (Cause the director is her mom)" and we just busted out laughing i was like "oh snap!" but anyway yeah. it was one of those things you had to be there
-Frequent mistakes in me talking to the wrong characters. For example the line may be "the Salary is 66 Pound a year Mr.Corey" and i accidentaly go "The Salary is 66 Pound a year Mr.Parris"

Another "Owned In The Face" line
Real Line: He was nearly crushed by a bag of flour!
OITF: He... got owned in the face by the Cook's bag of flour!
---
Durring this tech (one of our last ones), Peter forgot all his lines. And the scene is practically him monolauge-ing. (spelling?) So, the rest of us had to cover for him. We eventuall got to the end of the act, so we all went offstage, and so he said his last line
Peter: ... ONCE MORE INTO THE FRAY!
-door slams-
Peter: -tried to make this under his breath, but fails miserably- ******** Else: rofl
... you kind of had to be there i guess....

in one play my wig kept falling off. redface so i had to keep on going while keeping my wig on at the same time. (that's what i get for not telling the Stage Hands I needed bobby pins stare ) After the show, the head of costume designing said that everyone loved the wig thing i was doing and asked, "if it was apart of the show." razz sweatdrop

So we just got finished learning music for Les Miserables, and there were three amusing events:
The Docks:
"Even stokers need a little STROKE" Yeah, that kid was blushing...
And once, our Marius actually WAS late, and it led into the song inadvertently (if you know the lyrics to The ABC Cafe then you know what I'm talking about)
Another time we were rehearsing the various barricade scenes, and we have a teacher playing the army officer that sings from offstage. Well, since we were only doing music and not staging, we had Enjolras and the officer together. Now, this teacher likes to yell, so he gave full energy, and Enjorals was just sort of trembling and missed his line, eliciting my response:
"I think Enjolras just wet himself!
Maybe you had to be there...

Okay, so our school was putting on Aladdin. It was during my freshmen year and my first school play so I was an extra (towns person #4) and I was waiting my cue to come on. I was sitting on a bench waiting for my cue to come on when the dude who was playing Aladdin's father walks in front of me and shouts. "Oops I dropped my penny!" and bends over and shoves his butt in my face. Then the same guy the next rehearsal while I was talking to other extras while waiting for my cue we looked over and he was all out humping a curtain and moaning and everything. Then he went around with his shirt pulled over his head running into random extra screaming "OOPS SORRY!" yeah, he's a pretty crazy kid.
Then the guy who was playing Yahoo I knew personally had to wear for his costume an open bright neon rainbow vest. I was laughing at him so hard since really he is anything but that kind of person, so yeah.
But that play holds a lot of fond memories for me since it was my first.

Not really a mess up, but still funny.
This summer, I was the ghost in Hamlet. In the last part where Hamlet dies, all the dead people (most everyone) comes out and sits in the background watching Hamlet get killed.
So there are all these dead bodies lying around, and all these ghosts with white faces standing by, and suddenly Hamlet stands up and starts sining "Lean On Me". Then every one else joins in, and we all form a line swaying back and forth singing. The director was laughing so hard he almost fell out of his chair. He liked it so much that he let us sing "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" at the end of the performance.

Master Thespian Fur-elise Then the guy who was playing Yahoo I knew personally had to wear for his costume an open bright neon rainbow vest. Do you mean Abu, the monkey, or is there someone named Yahoo I've forgotten? The play production version is very different from the Disney one. You know Yahoo? The narrator and the snake charmer guy?

In high school, we were rehearsing in the auditorium when someone mocklingly started singing "MacBeth! MacBeth!" and a bunch of us turned around and glared at him. A few moments later a parent came in and informed the director that one of our leads broke his leg in three places. Ironic.

when i was in high school we did 'A Midsummers Night dream'.
I was Snout who at one point plays a wall.
so there i am dressed in black puffy pants, a puffy shirt, an ace bandage wrapped around my chest (i'm umm... a little large), and vines drapped over me.
i say my lines and then the girl playing a guy playing a girl leans in to kiss the wall while the guy on the other side does the same.
they were supposed to kiss my hand and then me make a big ol' disgusted face. WRONG!
they decided to tackle me to the stage each grab an arm and start licking my palms while saying "Yummy! Tastes just like chicken."!
to those whom don't know, my palms are very VERY ticklish so while they're doing that i'm squirming around, kicking my legs, and giggling like a twit!
to top things off my shirt had slipped a bit and if i hadn't been wearing the ace bandage i would had revealed a bit to much if you catch my drift...

We're working on The Boys Next Door right now and Thursday rehearsal was... something.
We're rehearsaing in the theatre room because the other show has the stage that day and the theatre room has a really low cieling, low enough for a tall guy to reach up and touch it. We start by woramping up and playing this game called Bang! The whole idea is you walk around with your "guns" drawn and when the director calls out a name, they duck and the two people next to them fire. She calls "Aaron!" so Aaron ducks down to the ground, avoiding the shot. Excited that he is not out of the game yet, he jumps up into the air and smashes his hand into on of the cieling tiles. He knocks a chunk out and white dust kinda begins to rain down. As my director put it:
"I closed my eyes because I was laughing so hard and then when I opened them everyone was on the floor laughing."
We decided after this to get a fresh appraoch on characterization we would all switch roles. The guy who's currently playing Jack decided he wants to be Mr. Klemper, Barry's abusive father. So he does the whole scene in this really obnoxious hick accent and at one point pretends to pee on the door xD We'd also had a long talk the day before about what Jack should do when he comes in and sees Barry crying on the floor: should he, or shouldn't he close the door? Frank, who was being Jack for the day, run in and goes to hold Barry like the blocking says but before he can Barry goes CLOSE THE DOOR!
It was amazing xD
And then my friend Robert turned this character with about four line sinto a slut xD She comes in looking for her hamster but um... yeah. He was like "It was about four inches long" xD Lawl.
Also, his paraphrazing of a line was amazing. "These apartments are built for rats, I wouldn't live in one for all the tea in China." He ended up saying "These apartments are built for rats. China."
It was a really unproductive rehearsal...

I'm playing mrs. Sowerberry in Oliver! and this one day the guy playing Noah wasn't there. His understudy didn't know that he had to lower the coffin. So when I started lowering it he didn't hold on and I dropped the coffin with Oliver in it, everybody cracked up because I looked so incredibly shocked.

Haha, in this one'act I was in one of the leads had to say a really long acronym...it was UNOSHATNATOPACUNICEFOPECIHOP...the actual acronym was ok after a few days, but he kept messing up what it means, and he had to talk really fast. I don't remember what he actually ended up saying, but it was really funny.

Aw man. We did a play in High school, it was for a One-Act Competition.
And befittingly we were doing the play One-Act Competition.
Well, there is a part where Sue from the "goth" kids is center stage and she's gesturing because there is music going on and this is all a muted and fast paced scene. (This is the scene where our characters are playing their characters. The play within a play.)
Well, she gets knocked up (Not as Sue but as Sue's character) in the play and the actress, Jessica, is trying to signify that she isn't married by holding up her ring finger and showing there is no ring.
Well, unfortunately, this wasn't rehearsal and we were doing the REAL competition at the time. And Jessica messes up and flips off the panel.
She was mortified, and we were dying. Instead of just putting her finger down and going on, she lifts her other hand and grabs at her finger in an act to hide it. So essentially still flipping a bird.
We still laugh about it.
----
Though another notable time was during rehearsal. I had a line that went... "She gives birth in a dumpster and gets hit by a bus." But a serious case of Dyslexia gripped me and it took forever to stop saying... "She gets hit by a dumpster and gives birth in front of a bus."
----
And this one is from our lovable techies. I was helping with the props and my friend Rachel was making the school bus. It's just a frontal view of one. But instead of "School Bus" She messed up and now it's forever more the Sh-Cool Bus.
