Par lamp exploded above the stage during a dress rehearsal for The Importance of Being Earnest. A part of the filament landed on the sofa and caught it on fire. The ASM ran out, grabbed one of the decorative pillows and stomped it out.
I kept the gel as a souveneir with parts of the glass melted into. Over the years, the glass slowly broke away from the gel and I eventually threw it away. I still have the gel to this day though. Great college souveneir.
