I was the sound op for a production of Miracle On 34th Street last Christmas and we had a show stop. There's a scene were two paperboys are on stage when the lights come up and yell their bit, and the run off, they came out in the dark and took their places.
Well, probably see where this is going, during one show, lights go and the stage is empty, the ASM comes over the headset saying that paperboy 1 just told him that paperboy 2 fell into the pit in the blackout. It was about a 12 foot fall onto concrete. SM stopped the show, I helped treat the actor and then after the ambulance and a broken collarbone later, the show started again. Long night.
