I'm sure you did your best anyways.

I just want to say that I remember a performance of Clue in Dec 2022 where I just.. *snapped* and I don't know where it came from, like it just happened out of nowhere. That semester I was being bullied and targeted by the girl who was playing Mrs White in cast B (we had 2 casts, I was in both as Mr Boddy). I was already so sad and so upset and wanted to leave theater alltogether after the performance. Well, that last performance of ours? The girl playing Mrs Scarlet and the boy playing Colonel Mustard stumbled on their lines causing me to stumble and there was an awkward silence and I snapped..

Though when I did snap, I was angry, and I threw in their "crimes" that they "committed" in character, because I realized in that moment that I was breaking character and needed to get back to my part because I flubbed up and I tried to personalize that mistake to fit the character but I only ended up feeling bad and apologized after the performance. Not to Mrs. White, she had made me feel very insecure and depressed lol. But to the rest of the cast.

So anyways, I did well for most of the performances, rehearsals, etc. Even the filming. I knew my lines, my cues, but due to the bullying and pent up emotions inside, and the fumbled lines and cues, I snapped. Tried to fix it lmao.

Oof. I was in my school musical once, and I almost screamed in frustration because the lead tripped on me, but I managed to convert it and make it seem like it was part of the show.

Ahh, I would understand tripping, but I have to admit, even I'm clumsy so I try to hide in the back sometimes so no one can see my messy footfalls

I missed auditions for my school play years ago but still ended up with a minor speaking role.

But because I was so shy back then I had to either shout into a mic hooked up to another character or else awkwardly walk across the stage to the front mics just so that people could hear me

i'm the opposite, lol. my last show, I yelled in the mic so loud that the whole audience went slient and a middle school kid decided to go ahead and bellow a minor curse. like, bro, yelling is a part of my chracter. and this production im going to be in this week, i have to yell again

This is the reason I was stage crew back when I used to do plays. No one knew if I messed up (I had a couple stories of mess ups from practices and actual performances. )

This is why I never did drama for my studies

I can write a script, not act in it

i’ve been on tech crew for the last… like four years
tech crew is the best :]

Noooo I got a song stuck in my head
