Rehearsals?!?!... we don't need any stinking rehearsals!

This reminds me of a classic 'This American Life' episode: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/61/fiasco

God that's painful for any actor to watch.

I was a flier in a production of Peter Pan once. Flier just means I pulled the rope that lifted the actors with harness in the air. I use to get on top of our fake Pirate ship that was stashed off stage and grab the rope as high as I could and let gravity do the rest that way the actor sprang up in the air into flight.

Well that's one performance that will remain in both the cast and audience's memories for a long time!

You're right - thoroughly satisfying

I was entertained!

Some stage weights were all that was necessary.

Needs more catastrophe

well, at least the person with the crying baby stayed in the auditorium the whole time...

Murphy's Law. A minute after the video stops a meteor hit the theater leveling it completely. The tape was recovered showing this, but it accidentally jammed up in the VCR while transferring to digital. The digital video, btw, carries a curse that will kill you by the end of the week.

Sorry.
