"1.During Athos's speech about his wife in the Tavern a young child was just heard in the audience declaring 'I need a poo!'. Was dealt with very professionally by company and no real reaction from audience. Child's plea had clearly not been listened to however and in the final line of the speech was heard even more insistently saying 'I NEED A POO!' Mr **** did his best to finish the speech with 'And now it's time to get drunk!' through a clenched jaw to stop from laughing as audience were in hysterics and company not doing much better. Received round from
audience. We then switched focus over to the SR table for the next line - unfortunately Ms ******* and Mr ****** had not recovered yet and it took some time before we were able to continue. It is unknown if child was listened to or not, but nothing further was heard."

"ASM failed to construct the promised remotely controlled Crocodile in time for the first night. Cosequently, his solution was to dress himself in black, tie the Croc's wire and canvas structure to his back and make his entrance riding a skateboard flat on his stomach. Unfortunately he also failed to leave himself enough time to execute this move. and having omitted to warn the DSM or cast of his intentions. he merely threw the Croc to centre stage where Peter Pan and Wendy had to jump on and ride the Croc off stage like a hobby horse, to 'rescue' themselves from the lagoon. Simultaneously the DSM had to maintain the illusion of the lagoon 'tide' coming in over them by rescuing and quickly learning how to operate the smoke machine."

High School
We performed several songs from Phantom of the Opera, and our
lovely director played the phantom. So, we did the scene where
the phantom sings to Christine from behind the magic mirror,
you know... Angel of Music and all that. The line is "Insolent
boy this slave of passion." So the phantom sings with
gusto... "Insolent boy this.... foolish person!" Oh
dear. Christine practically bit a hole in her lower lip trying
to keep the trance and not laugh her ass off. It didn't help
that she was only halfway zipped into her costume with hair
caught in the zipper, and that the phantom absolutely reeked
of spirit gum from an earlier scene.
