The Show Must Go On...
On friday night, one hour before the curtains were supposed to open, we experienced, one of the scariest moments in theatre:
Everyone knows about the superstition, where you must never mention the name of this certain play,in a theatre, because if you do, something terrible is bound to happen that day or night during, before, or after the production. Well one kid in our school, William (not Mr. Shakesphere *he's dead*), kept saying this word, telling us not to believe in superstition. We all laughed it off then, but when a 7 ft tall flat (made out of heavy wood) fell from about 30ft in the air on top of 3 of our cast members during rehearsal, everything was turned upside down. Most of this was caught on camera, except for the fall itself. One of the girls who got hurt the most, was taken to the Hospital that day. She had a neck brace put on, was strapped down, and then wheeled away, 20 min. before we started opening the doors. Everyone was really emotional and scared. We couldn't do this one act last night, and everything was cut short. But the show must go on! She had a cast on her arm, but she was still great! It's funny now that her character was God... We all signed the fallen flat and said that it was forever cursed, and will always remind us of this night.
There is so much more that went on, but im pretty sure you get what I mean. We are all closer than ever before now, and we keep talking about it. Marco is having a party tomorrow, and we are going to watch the tape again. It's actually pretty funny, heh. *sigh* Im tired, so Im just gonna go to sleep now. Cya
