Last performance, our Lt. Wright got dared to mess up. In the scene with Collin and Mary, when Wright and Holmes walked in, Wright said "just one black snah-kay, and this girl." I would have said "and this grill."

Second-to-last performance (Satuday Matinee) I dropped my hankerchief during "Final Storm."

First Performance, after Mary's Tantrum, when Craven picked up the chair, it broke.

First performance, at the end of "Storm II." I had always had some trouble getting the spacing right on stage during rehearsals. I got it right. Then, when we walk offstage, Major Shelly and I signal to each other quietly to show how ecstatic we are that we got it right. Then he lightly hits me in the stomach, and I yelp, being jumpy as I am.

Performance we recorded, at the end of "House on the Hill." Dr. Craven and Archibald are supposed to converse onstage. Our Dr. Craven was oddly missing, leaving a confused Archibald onstage. Upon watching the recording, you can hear Craven warming up; he was in the dressing room, warming up, with his mic turned on.

When Colin and Mary meet Dickon in Martha in Act 2, the wheelchair got stuck backstage, leaving our Dickon and Martha to improvise for five minutes onstage, trying to keep the whole scared to go out in the dark scene going until they got the wheelchair unstuck.
