Well, it was bound to happen. I have my offical worst moment on stage ever. I talked to my Papa about it and now he has requested that I share it with all. So here goes.
Our story opens on me, I play a ditzy blonde who loves to talk about nonsense. During the course of the scene, I get very excited and start to undress quickly. Now take some deep breaths. I have on a cute, very tasteful and covering slip and some frilly boy shorts. Well, it's the first time working with my costume and it is in front of a very packed audience. I get to my skirt, pull it down and hear a gasp. I had pulled down the boy shorts as well. Down to my knees. I was wearing tights, but nothing else. I looked down, pulled my boy shorts back up and said some sort of flighty thing and jumped into the bed. Believe you me, I did NOT want to come back out from under that bed, but I had an entire song to sing. I just cannot believe that I flashed an entire audience. Needless to say, I have now pinned the boy shorts to my tights and go a bit more slowly in the undressing. NO MORE FLASHING!!!
Ahhhh, the joys of live theater.
