Just a few days ago I had to do a play completely in Spanish >< and so I played the bad guy and I had to have a fight with the good guy. We were using fake swords and mine was a foam one. So when the good guy does this super kewl move to disarm me, my sword flies into the audience, only to land in the hands of the bad guy for the group that was going up next. That was so strange...yet awesome ^.^

Also while I was watching a play performed by DVC last year of Romeo and Juliet, the guy who plays Mercutio comes out....dressed as a POTC-style pirate?!?!?!? And he was drinking a bottle of "rum." We were all laughing so hard at him, it was fun.

a few years ago I was in a Christmas play and I had a short solo in a song. I totally tripped over my words, but I just kept going and no one seemed to notice/care.

My school one time put on Boy Meets Girl (it's a very old play. They're cheap and do either old plays or some REALLY hard to understand Shakespeare like King Henry IV part 2. Very dull) anyway, we lucked out with Boy Meets Girl being a very funny play as soon as we update some of the pop culture references.

During the play, (the play takes place in Hollywood) an actor (named Larry Tom) and his agent or an the stage. Also on the stage is a desk with a lamp. The agent has a purse. The agent got to close to the desk and turned around suddenly, shattering the vase. The agent improved and laid the blame on Larry, as did the two writers who hate him in the play. Another character was supposed to be kicked out, but instead was rather humiliatingly impressed into picking up the glass. Later on in the play, Larry is supposed to receive a box of dead spiders. Larry improvised and stated it was a box of crushed glass.

The best part? No one in the audience figured we were improving those entire scenes.

this past year, my school play was Beauty and the Beast. my friend was the Beast, and during one of our practice performances (we performed for Senior Citizens) at the transformation scene he has about a minute to wipe off all the Beast's make-up, take off the costume, and become "human" again. well...when the lights shone on him and he was "human", he forgot to take his Beast nose off...so he was human with a snout. pretty funny. he quickly took it off on stage

Well it was actually a rehearsal for a production that's happening in a couple of days. I was watching a short skit some of my friends were doing, and while they were rehearsing, the teacher and some others were messing around with all the tech stuff. So my friends were all going through thier lines as normal, and someone said the line "well, let me tell you..." and just as she said it, a really cliche sort of music came on.

Then she recited her next few lines in song while the other cast members clicked thier fingers to the beat. It was very random indeed.

I fell over in both a) hoorible costume,
b) in front of a full audience
c) in front of a guy i liked at the time
d) in front of my best friends who said to me after the show me "fall" looked real

f) i went "OOOFFF" really loud and yeah never lived it down

In my school's play of Robin Hood, we made Friar Tuck into a friar who loves to eat fried chicken, not sure why, so the actor is basically pretending to eat fried chicken when he's on stage. So after one scene when everyone walks offstage Robin Hood picks up a drumstick off the floor and gives it to the Friar and says, "You dropped your chicken." and Friar Tuck replies, "Oh 30-second rule."

The other day, the junior school production was on with all the little kids. Some of my friends were doing tech stuff, and they had a microphone so they could hear everything that was going on. In the performance, the little kids playing the bad guys pretty much run on stage and scream "I AM *insert name here*". So there was this one kid that ran on.. her character's name was Whacker... and she screamed out "I AM ... *something else* xD"

[Poker Face]

My school musical was "The Wizard of OZ" and I was playing the Tin Man. YAY!

During a performance to some little kids, I stufed up half the words in the second act and when the curtain closed for the first act I said, "That was the shitest performance I've ever done" and my microphone was still on. WOOPS!

It was fun though.

Well, my high school orchestra would have one concert every year called the collage concert where we'd have skits and do silly things. It was mostly to entertain the younger orchestra students.

One year something we were going to do was play the themes from Pirates of the Caribbean and we were all supposed to drop out at one point, and then come back in together shortly after. But, something with the lights went wrong and none of us could really see so we were all confused as to where to come in. When it came time no one started playing except one cello. It actually turned out to sound a lot better and more interesting than our originally idea. It started with one cellist then slowly, a few at a time, the rest of the orchestra started playing along. Pretty cool mistake, haha.

It was in a rehearsal, but I accidently fell a sleep while wating my turn to come to the stage.

Also, there was this time when I was in the Little Mermaid. It was a huge theater project for kids and teens. There was a scene when the little mermaids sisters (including me) were telling about what their dream man would be like. One of us was supposed to say "Opiskelee lääkäriksi, on pienenä hallunnut palomieheksi." meaning "Studies to become a doctor, dreamed to be a firefighter when he was a kid."

By accident, instead of palomies, she said panomies, which mean about the same as gigolo.
I heard later that the mothers in the audience had gotten quite furious : D

er I dunno if this counts but when I saw Lion King on stage or whatever. There was a part where the sun rises and they pull it up and its kinda in folds to make it more artsy, well one of the folds got caught and it was all tilted. And everyone would shut the **** up. It annoyed me more than it was funny. But still.
