Hey Everyone!
This is a story that I look back on and laugh, but when it was happening we were mortified!
3 years ago my middle school did Grease. During the cast party (before our first performance) someone shouted MacBeth into a microphone so everyone heard it. Later that night we had the show. I go on to do Greased Lightning and the CD doesn't work, its scratched. So we are doing all of this improv just to stall until they get a new CD. Of course, they don't have a CD, so it goes to a blackout. A different scene goes on. Then we go back on to try to do Greased Lighting one more time. It doesn't work, so we decide to sing acapello. Everyone laughs and claps for us. Then about 4 scenes later we are supposed to be singing "Look at me I'm Sandra D" and instead We Are Together comes on. So we sing We Are Together and make up a dance routine as we go along (we didnt have our partners on stage) That was the end of our horrors, but we had to end the play a full act short.
The second night, we go on to do Greased Lightning...again. Of course the CD that they had just burned didnt work either, so we were screwed again singing achapello. The rest of the show ran smoothely until the final scene where Sandra D trips and sprains her ankle.
Thats my horror story!
