I think we all know theater isn't all sunshine rainbows onstage and off.

When I did Once on This Island, during the song "Rain", everyone had black umbrellas with blue and silver streamers on them. There wasn't really any choreography, but we were directed to basically powerwalk/dance around the stage and twirl and swirl the OPEN umbrellas to make it look like rain. Well, someone's umbrella spoke got me right in the eye! Well, not my actual eyeball (that would've been awful!) but more like really really dangerously close to my eyeball. And boy did it hurt! I was okay though. Stupid umbrellas. haha.

I'm sure I'll think of more later. I like this post. hehe. music myspace:

When I got to the choreography part, however, they kept flying off. I took them off and tried to do the combination, but it was a raked stage and I fell on my face in front of everyone. ~Sarah~

Upcoming: Grease and Guys and Dolls

Past Shows: Godspell, Damn Yankees, Little Shop of

I will never space out like that again!
