Stupidest thing you've ever done on stage. . . — Page 2

I was 3 minutes late for an entrance on my opening night of Thoroughly Modern Millie...


::dies thinking about it::

In third grade I was playing the lead street urchin in A Christmas Carol and I had to do a quick change back stage. After the change I had to get to the other side of the stage, but there was no space to cross behind so I ran across during a scene change, but there is a chest on stage that the ghost of christmas past hides in for a scene, and I tripped over it and fell flat on my back. (I flipped over as I was going over the chest.) But the entire audience heard a big thwack and then two different groans from me and the girl playing christmas past. I just got up and ran to my spot, but people were asking me about that bang for months afterwards.

My school was doing this play called "Bobbin and The Travellers".

I was a last minute replacement for The Pied Piper and I was really nervous because I wasn't totally comfortable with the part.

Well, there was this one scene where I had to tie up these two kids so they could be bait for the witch in the story. The chairs that they had to be tied up in were behind this big sheet of wood that was painted to look like a tree. So I went behind there to get the chairs but I nearly knocked over half the set. I was so afraid that it was all going to fall. I was thanking God that the set hadn't fallen, because I never would have forgiven myself.

I was Briggita In sound of music and during do re mi we had a dance that on fa we were to back up pretty fast and and there were like 2 tables with a pottery bowl on both, i backed up and it broke. i felt so bad.

I was playig Horton in Seussical. I was sitting up in the tree during the storm, right after Mayzie had given me her egg. I'm singing, and I totally mess up the lyrics. I sang the lyrcs to a song that comes at the end of the show. Luckily, it all rhymed so no one knew the difference, unless they knew the show (but the CD is so different from the script the probably still wouldn't know.) Well the Act ends shortly after that anyways, so I went to the green room during intermission, and told the stage manager and the other cast members my mistake. All of the sudden the girl playig the Cat in the Hat comes running down. "JP! Your mic is still on!" So even though I covered it well, everyone knew by the end. E!
