April Fools!
« on: Apr 01, 2012, 06:42 pm »
One of my actors got me at lunch today. She said, "Hey, I just wanted to check and make sure that everything's got taken care of for that Sunday performance I can't be at. It was in my contract so I'm sure it's all taken care of- just wanted to make sure you have it on the calendar and that plans are being made."

..........

She said that I got very still- I can't even remember what I said to her, but she definitely had me going for a minute!

I so wanted to call places at half hour, but the stampede/trampling of performers, just wasnt worth it...but man it would have been funny.

I did this at 10 minutes...worth it.

I had an audience member (father of one of the actresses) get me at intermission: "Hey, is that your money on the floor?"

doh....

Our sound engineer pranked our actors during a final blackout and told them the system crashed and that she'd be doing all the sound effects live for the finale.
