*During Snow White notes, there was a guy playing with a bird mask he had found backstage. Twas rather funny. Our director looks at him and goes..* "Take that off! I'm about to yell at you!"
*I don't even remember what show this was from, but during some group number, our director was trying to get us to smile, so she yelled out..* "DEAD PUPPIES!"
Yeah, our director has a weird sense of humor. (Apologies to avid puppy lovers. I actually do quite like dogs. It was just one of those things that was so dang hysterical at 10 pm or so)I'm Micaela. But you can call me Mickey!

"Karl, you need to-WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU NOT WEARING ANY PANTS?!?" -again, my Seussical director during notes when suddenly one of the bird girls came out with only her top and tights on (the skirt didn't fit, and it was down around her ankles)
"Go backstage and don't come back out until your voice decides to come back from vacation!" -my Steel Magnolias director getting mad at Truvy for not being loud enoughThis isn't a golf tournament, being loud is more than acceptable!

Re:Funny things that directors say - 2008/04/27 21:24Well, idk if this counts but... Yesterday before our Matinee performance our director was doing crazy things to make our energy level go up and she told that really cheesy knock-knock joke, where the person keeps on saying banana and then they say "orange", you go "orange who?" They say,"orange ya glad i didn't say banana?" (very cheesy i know)
So after the matinee someone bought like 8 bananas and one orange, and the plan was when she was talking to the cast at random times the eight people would give her a banana (i was one of them) at different times and then one girl would give her an orange and say, "orange ya glad i didn't give you a banana!", the best part was half the cast didn't even know about it! So it was really unexpected and cheesy...but hey it's youth theatre! -Laura
Favorite Musical: PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!!!! As for more "happy" musicals i like BATB and Music Man (and lots of others, that i can't think of right now!)
Next production: R&H Cinderella?

Re:Funny things that directors say - 2008/04/28 00:22"Lani, you're not like humping his leg!" When I'm supposed to be SEVERELY flirting with this guy Joe in the show (Ballyhoo). I was trilling and drawing out my speech (ie: "Sppppeciallyyyyy if you were planninnnggggg on gooooooiiiinnngggg thiissss yearrrrrrr.") It was outrageously funny. And when she wanted her phone "Hand me my iphone." We never stopped making fun of her for that, because she kept saying it. She just couldn't call it a phone. lolCurrent Role: Louise Lerman/Eve (Judy's Assistant) in "Ruthless!" by Marvin Laird.

Re:Funny things that directors say - 2008/04/28 00:52This isn't exactly a quote, but these past few weekends I've been performing in a production of Snow White. Our director wanted all the kids playing dwarves to have those crepe hair beards that you glue on. The dwarves, needless to say, did not like this at all. Of course, I was the one put in charge of gluing all their beards on.
Today, they were being especially difficult about not gettting into costume so I could beard them. So I got the director. She came to the greenroom and started yelling at them, and they absolutely scattered and hid. It was hysterical. I don't think they'll give me any trouble any more.
*Don;t get me wrong. I absolutely love the dwarves. They're just..... difficult.*
