Welcome to Gaia! ::

Twice I have run on and off stage before my part had begun/ended.

This has nothing to do with theatre other than it happened on the stage we share with the dancers. My freshman year I was in charge of the curtains for the dance concert and they have this one amazing and yet very serious dance. Apparently someone told one of the dancers a really funny joke right before she went on stage to do the dance. She got into position and was trying to keep from laughing in the middle of the dance. She tried so hard she started peeing on the stage. Don't you love those dancers?

((no offense to most dancers met, at my school there is a major rivalry between the dance and drama departments))

Okay, well the first play I was in at camp I played this girl named Dina in this play called Juvie. And she was a gang leader but she was also really religious... which I wasn't. And she had this odd monologue where she was justifying this.. manslaughter insident and she'd just randomly start praying and I botched every last prayer she said. I was also only 12 at the time.

This was a production of Brigadoon done in my city's community theatre YEARS ago, when my dad was in college about an hour or so away. His school was doing Brigadoon as well, and they were going to the show, and and borrowing props, costumes, and the like.

Well, during that show, the WEDDING DANCE scene in particular...bag pipes-a-blazin...the new "groom" (Charlie, of course) onstage decided to start throwing up.

Completely uncontrollable. And everyone just KEPT dancing. Sure, they were grossed out and like, "OMFG BARF!," ...but...the show must go on, right?

Hehe...I had SO much fun telling that to my friend when he played Charlie in Brigadoon in our junior year of highschool. The look on his face...just lovely. lol

My friend was singing a song and the lyrics to one part were "Don't hold the meatloaf/ Don't toss the salad..." but then later there was another part at the same tune and it was "I won't be home to blow out the candles/ open the presents."

Wellll, we messed up and started singing the second verse first and then realize his error and switched back so it came out "I won't be home to blow the meatloaf." We all nearly died.

Another time my friend completely missed her entrance and she was playing one of two old ladies flirting with this guy. The line swhere

Hi and how you do?
Uh huh!
Hi and who are?
Uh huh?

The one who missed her entrance was singing the first and third lines so the other girl sang this and some guy did the Uh huhs XD It was so funny seeing him molest a dead uncle in a wheel chair!

This isn't REALLY embarassing, but it was still funny:
We JUST did our drama finals Monday, which is when your write and direct your own mini play. So, I wrote this great play for my group and everything was going great for us. But the day before we went to preform, the alpha dog Nicole and I decided that we'd put in a scene change or else we'd all have to work around a set that wouldn't work for the last scene. So, we're preforming and doing great. Nicole and I walked off stage after a little scene together and I sat there, waiting for her to close the curtain so that the scene change could happen. But she didn't. The only other person who could have was Chelsea, who was doing who knows that! (we only have one pully on our drama room stage. If it was our actual stage, I could have just done it) So, I'm freaking out. Our show is completely stopped because no one is closing the curtain. I'm sitting there, whispering loudly "Someone close the damn curtains!" But, no one did and we had to proceed with the set. We all worked around it, and ours was one of the best. But the worse part was that everyone heard me whispering xp

And, speaking of Music Man, I had the crappiest luck with costumes. I was a Pick-A-Little lady and as such, I was supposed to have a lot of different costumes. All of the PAL ladies were the first to get their costumes, which consisted of a nice one for the opening, a patrotic dress for the gym and possibly for Wells Fargo, a jewel toned one for the PAL song, and a pink one for all of act two. So, on the first day, I got all of my costumes but a patrotic/Wells Fargo dress. The next day, I was forced to try on all of these ugly, not fitting dresses. The other girls had gotten all of the good dresses that would have fit me as well (I'm not fat, but I'm no twig either!) So, I was stuck with this awful, tight dress that was too short for me! It was tight around my neck, I couldn't breathe, AND it left a red ring around my waist when I took it off. Anyways, I had a solo in Wells Fargo and had to wear that awful dress for it. And just two nights before we opened, it ripped. First the ripper came off completely then it ripped! So, we're fussing with it and all the while, my time is running out. We eventually just let me go out on stage with my back exposed. Needless to say, the entire cast knew what color my bra was!! Thankfully, we got rid of the dress and I got to wear my first scene dress instead xp

Wow, that was REALLY long!

During one of the songs I had to sing I forgot the words! I completely went blank so I just hummed along until I remembered!! We laughed about it later but I was so embarrassed.
