My favorite thing in the world is swapping horrible theater stories.
Did I tell you guys about the wheelchair story?
Okay, so... Let's just pull the interview over to the side.
This is a horror, I was a sophomore in high school and I was in charge of changing the scenery, right?
The battens that would lift the scenery.
So in between we had like, we were doing one act.
So in between each act, we had like 15, 30 seconds to change the big, huge scenery and pull them up.
And I was in charge of all those hydraulics.
So the stage manager points to me, she's like, go.
And I didn't realize there was a rope hanging on the side that somehow hooked onto the wheelchair that the guy needed in the next scene.
This is an episode from a cartoon I saw.
And I raised it, and the hook pulled the wheelchair up.
So the curtain goes up, and the wheelchair is just swinging, hanging in midair.
