The Most Embarassing Thing You've Ever Had To Do Onstage? — Page 2

This doesn't exactly fit within the thread title but...

My college performed Midsummer Night Dream and during one scene, many of the character's had to pretand to be asleep for quite a while. Well, one of them actually HAD fallen asleep.

Okay.......doing a show called Wonderland! which was a stupid adaption of the book of Through the Looking Glass A.K.A Alice in Wonderland.

So I played the train conductor and had the most embarising song....Ride The Choo Choo.....yeah. Here`s a link to like 22 seconds of the song: http://www.pioneerdrama.com/searchdetail.asp?pc=WONDERLAND&id=6

It`s at the right side with the list of songs....just click it!
(It`s just the chorus)

Nathan- that's what I was in last summer and we did all those songs. Jabberwalky had to be THE WORST!

Edit: For the choo-choo song, the bunny hop was first. oy

Yes, we had to add it because of a quick change.

I was a sheep.


Yeah. No lines. Just a sheep. In a wooly suit of..wool. And fluff. My big scene was scampering clumsily on my knees to run away from the "Big Bad Wolf" who was coming to eat me.

And succeeding in eating me.

Oh wait no- I had a line. A slighly dishearted "squeak" as I was being devoured off stage.

Fun stuff.

Oh I was Titania in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and it required me to bellydance for one part of it. First time I did it it was quite embarassing... after that though (and i got the scarf with the coins which made it easier) it was just fun.

All the innuendo at first is also embarassing, until you know the other actor better...

oi.

Prior to graduating from school, it was a tradition that all outgoing senior classes were expected to put on a play. Rather than going with something established, they selected these two guys in the class who shared one brain cell to write a play to perform. It was light years beyond horrible - a comedy about doomed passengers on a crashing airplane (yes, it was that bad). Initially, all they could produce was a 15-minute mini-epic that contained exactly one line for everyone in the class, except themselves (who seemed to dominate every scene). They gradually extended it to 40 minutes. Everyone knew it was awful and having to read the few dreadful lines each of us were given was a soul-destroying experience. However, the nutty teacher in charge (who incidentally adored these two guys) kept flouncing around and acting like we were performing high art and kept ranting about "motivation" and "maintaining the mood." I forbid anyone I knew to see it - I was so mortified. Ironically, the biggest laugh the show produced was when a classmate playing a stewardess lost her footing on the rickety set and fell, effectively knocking the back half of the makeshift plane to pieces.

"When I 11 we had to do this thing about punctuation in English Class. I got the honor of reading the lengthy poem about the period, and of course, it happened to be the first time I had experienced my monthly friend. I bet my face was beat red the entire time I was up there."


Ok- that one wins!

Are you sure you were faking it?

I had to bark like a dog. No Joke. It was a stupid play when I was in middle school.
