A true story once told to me by another actor was of a two character play being performed Off Off OFF Broadway. It was a romantic piece and the scene was of the innocent young man and woman sitting awkwardly moving towards their first kiss. It was a minimal set and they were just sitting in chairs facing each other.
As the moment for the kiss grew closer, the actor noticed that the actress had a funny look on her face. And a moment later, she projectile vomited all over him.
Oh GOD. Can you IMAGINE????
The poor girl had come down with something suddenly. We've all had that happen - but ...
... ON STAGE?
ALL OVER THE GUY?
I mean, we all know the show must go on ... but would anyone want THIS one to?
Okay, so that's my story of bizarre theatre lore. Have you heard of any other crazy things that happened on stage during a performance?
DO TELL!
