Stressing Out

This is page for all the funny muck-ups, stresses, blatant mistakes and near disasters

Then there were the actual performances, which in a word went-off! I remember sittin� up in the audience watching the other cast and cringing when things went wrong, out of time gun shots, silent guitar solos, brain disks fallin� into music pits, mic stands crashing to the ground over and over and that god damn table! Geez everytime it got to any scene peeps had to jump on it, but especially Act2, scene4 and Enema and Tiffany had to climb up onto the table and it started sliding off toward the music pit�not a good thing! (especially when u were on it!!!) Oh yeah and the last performance when Ash, Dawn and Tiffany were outside the curtain doing the whole �Ricky�s satellite is falling to earth� spiel, come on who was the dead head who was caught half way outside the curtain???    =9         =)   lol

* Chuckling to myself * And the screw up I was stressing about the most? When the FBI agents and I had to get up to top left auditorium so we could burst in. We had no idea how to get there so we were running around like chickens wid our heads cut off trying 2 find a way, when we finally did, it was outside right. So we went out (freezing cold) and found the front doors were locked, so we thought ah bugga betta get back inside, yeah the way we came out had locked behind us! We were locked outside! So we ran round the side, found the dressing room doors, which were also locked, but we bashed hard enough that someone heard and we got back in side and back up on stage just in time! But omg how much was I laughing! The awesome thing was tho, someone would always step in a save the day (or scene as it was), like the fill in�s eg: In the putting on the zoot suit scene (Act1, scene3), DAWN: �this won�t go with my hair�, ASH: �nothing goes with your hair!��And Enema and Ash filling in the time with Ash and the table, ASH: �I�m not getting on the table� ENEMA: �Oh here comes the table, and look your on it�. Then there was the misinterpreted line (Act2, scene 8)�ASH&DAWN: �come home with us�, TIFFANY: �Really?�, ASH: �oh yeah!!!� , so that half wasn�t suggestive!!! =) (I heard Gats had a word about that one) [soz the quotes are a bit out, but u get the drift]

*   The first rehearsal up at the college, when Nikto had to open the cell door to let Tiffany and Ash thru, the door wouldn�t open would it?! Lol. We all had a try, and still it wouldn�t open, I remember afterwards, Wayne came out with a screwdriver and loosened it off so it would actually open and we wouldn�t have to use �the back door�( It was funny at the time ne way =)
*   The first performance (Deep) when the photos came up on the big screen and It was of Purple�s cast, wat was goin on there?! Lol
*   Lol a bit of a worry how heavy that real live Chainsaw was!!!! Bit of a relief when they took the blade off, but still?! (Jenelle)

CURSE OF THE DAWNS!

Ok, so just think about how sick me and B were just b4 we had to perform. I was shitting myself on the Wednesday. I woke up, and i literally could not speak, and hardly breathe. I was almost crying. I really didn't think i could do it, and so, i though B would have to. I turned up at school, a little bit better, able to talk, and sought out B. The conversation went a little bit like this; 'hey b, how r u?'
'*cough*yeah...*cough*'
so many things were running through my mind! There wont be a dawn! how the hell will we sing?? So after almost choking to death on a f*cking disprin in the audience, while we were waiting, i managed to down a couple of glasses of salt water, and my voice improved. I guess it was fear and adrenalin that enabled me to sing on that night, and thankfully, B did EXCELLENT the day following! well done B!!!!! You were awesome!! Just think how funny it was when B and I had to sing in rehearsals! haha. Miming!! Ah, it was good stuff. But how scary, i swear someone was out to destroy the prod...probably grade 9's. Anyway, well done again B! we did good in the end!� (Samara)

heh heh this one was just funny! When Marc was meant to correct David's 'frog' to 'dog'... but he just went "Err. frog sir!" hehe "STOP INTERRUPTING ME KLAATU!" nice save david!

Ok here's one. it was the second practice I think... at the end of Cronenberg's scene I had to go get the desk and chairs... So I'm grabbing the furthest out chair when something big and furry comes down on top of my head AARGGGH just what i need, the whole stage curtain dropped on my head.! Lol so i'm trying to crawl back though whilst dragging a chair behind me... then grabbing the desk too and getting my ass of that stage!

Everyone will remember this one. What to do when Haley's gun doesn't go off... no matter how much encouragement it gets from Bill... and the pesky evil doctor Geoff refuses to die? Why, get quickthinking Deadhead-Kylie to kill him instead! DIE ENEMA DIE! (Jemma)
