Well if you search long and hard on here you'll come across a ton of stories. One of mine, Posted on here somewhere, is about an exploding Dry Ice fogger. Luckily I don't have any stories of Audience members being injured, although.......
One summer, Working at The
Theatre At Tsa La Ghi, in Tahlequah,Ok. where we did the Trail Of Tears Drama, we had quite the incident. The first act ended with the American Civil War, telling the story of how this divided the Cherokee Nation. Anyway, the
stage goes dark,
Boom, a drum beats once on the narration, "And there will be Wars",
Boom, " And rumors of Wars", On the third
boom we blew 2 1/4 sticks of dynamite in pits behind the backstage mountain, I blew 4 flashpots onstage and we set off an acetyline
cannon located on top of the dressing rooms, which were situated on the top of the "Mountain". So this one night Apparently an older woman had found the first act rather boring and nodded off in the middle of it. Well when the Pryo/dynamite/Sound/light
Cue hit sheapparently woke up, REAL Fast. Suffice it to say We literally scared the S**T out of her. Luckily the Ushers took her to the
Box Office during
Intermission, and some costumers got her clothes washed. It was kinda sad, but at the same time...... absolutely hilarious.
