those are great Holly!


Lets see....My dick popped out on stage once. It was at Black Point, my first year of Faire. Good times

once i let an actor run an entire series of sketches with NO SHOES on, including an executive sketch.

furthermore i didn't catch it until we were reviewing the VIDEO.

i wish his dick had been out instead.

I was in a play in...5th grade, I think, so, not so long ago. It was called Finna dn Oonagh and the Giant Cahoulin. I was Finn's wife. My friend Josh was Finn, and my friend Zora was Cahoulin. Josh had to dress up as a baby, and later in the play, he had to chase Zora around the stage, through the audience, back onto the stage and offstage, all while yelling things like: "I'll kill yeh! I'll crush yeh! I'll knock you into the next county!" (This was an Irish tale, can you tell?)

Well, we got through the majority of the first show of the play. Josh was getting ready to get up and do his anger-type thing. We went off the stage, through the audience, around the table on stage, and were going through the door when Josh yells something no one expected. It went something liek this:

"I'll kill yeh! I'll murderize yeh! I'll..I'll..Knock the stove over!!!!"

Yes. Our prop stove had been knocked down, and teh audience thought it was brilliant. Of course none of it would have been quite the same if we hadn't been doing all of it under a strobe light...^.^

The worst thing i ever had happen on stage while playng John Worthing in the Importance of Being Earnest. It was Act II and I was on stage with the dude who played Dr. Chasuble. First of all, this guy was a horrible performer. His acting sounded like he was cold reading and his line memorization was simply wretched. I hated being on stage with him because I never knew when he was going to drop a line, skip a line or repeat a line.

So we're doing the scene and he's delivering a line and about halfway through he just stops and looks at me with these big ass saucer eyes that basically tell me that he has forgotten his line and has completely given up on the scene. Unfortunately, his line, the line he forgot, the line he had given up on, was the cue line for Cecily's entrance.

We kinda sat there in silence for a few seconds as I realized what the fuck this asshole had just done and then I improvised a few lines. Fortunately, Cecily entered without her cue line and the scene continued.

This is the same dude what would be half naked on the hood of his car sunbathing in the theatre parking lot when we'd all show up for the matinees.

This is also the same show where the stage manager ended up stealing $300 from me and a couple thousand dollars worth of jewelry from various members of the cast, including a bracelet that a cast member had received from his deceased wife who suffered throguh cancer for TEN YEARS! I think that idiot went to jail.

Spiral fractured my leg first show of the weekend doing Hamlet, but completed the show and the weekend. Including the flip during the dying scene at the end.

A million years ago when I was in high school I was in the local production of the musical Oaklahoma.
During the dream sequence......I was a can can dancer.
On closing night I slipped while kicking, twisting my ankle . I slid backwards on my ass accross the stage & I nearly took out the dancer behind me. As I looked out in the audience at a bunch of surprised faces I see a guy that I had a big crush on was sitting right in front! I managed to pop back up & finish the scene right away, but I'm sure it screwed up my ankle more than if I slipped off the side.

I don't know what was more painful, my ankle or my mortification.
At least the ankle pain was dulled by the closing night festivities & a handsome "male nurse" who made sure I was being well taken care of!

When I was in Jr High I used to usher at the local theater with my best friend. Occasionally we would have our boyfriends come usher too. We were trying to be quiet in the back room, the house manager had warned us about being noisy, but were still goofing around.
My boyfriend jumped up & at the same time he landed there was an earthquake making a huge BOOM! He totally thought that he had made this huge noise that would get us in trouble, but really it was mother nature. (oddly enough the same thing had happened to me at home when I was a tiny kid, what are the chances?)

I was in a fashion show for our brother school's prom fund raiser. Great fun!
We had dress rehersal during the day & the show at night. All the kids were dressed up in Prom finery, the guys in tuxes & girls in big poufy dresses......
What we didn't notice during the day rehersal was how the lighting would effect what was happening on the catwalk that extended from the stage. The lights were on the side pointing up at an angle, so every time a dress went by it would light up from the inside like a giant lampshade! It was pretty funny watching the girls walk down the catwalk "blinking" bright each time they passed a light.

I was part of a school play (the commercial) We were doing an Ovaltine commercial when my tights rapidly headed for the floor, along with my frilly undies. The worst part ... the bully next door was in the front row!!.

I think that's about the time I took up track!!
