Embarrassing, Theater and Health: Theater kid

Theater kid

Today, my theatre teacher made me go on stage even though I had a violent stomach flu. My understudies were unreachable, and she threatened to fail me if I did not perform. Halfway through the first act, I vomited on the first row. She failed me for letting the cast down. FML

Today, I performed in my school's choir concert. The girl next to me started to pass out, and I grabbed her so she wouldn't hit her head. After we were done performing and the curtains closed, my choir teacher dragged me off stage and said I was getting an F for "creating a distraction". FML

Today, I had to pretend to give birth in a play. I wanted to make it a realistic as possible but ended up crapping myself on stage by accident. FML

Today, I was rehearsing for a school play. My drama teacher keeps criticising the part where I fake-trip, saying I make it look terribly fake. During today's rehearsal, I actually tripped for real, and smashed my kneecaps against the floor with a scream. He still said my "acting" sucked. FML

Today, I had to take an oral examination. I made it to the last part of the exam, then violently threw up in the middle of my answer. FML

Today, I had a show with my drama group. My mom isn't a good drunk, she decided to scream along to every song and pass out halfway through. She was in the front row. FML

Today, I woke up feeling ill. My mom sent me to school anyway, and grounded me for "lying" about being sick. As soon as I got to school, I began vomiting blood. FML

Today, I auditioned for a role in ballet. My stomach was in pain and as I ran to be lifted into the air by my partner, I let out a huge fart. The auditorium was dead silent. FML

Today, because I was the only manager scheduled, I went into work despite feeling sick to my stomach. While sitting down with a customer, I got the urge to throw up and tried to hold it back. Instead I vomited in my mouth, instinctively swallowed and started choking in front of the customer. FML

you should have puked on her...give her what you have. I'd file a complaint. She can't fail you if you're sick beyond your control. And besides...it's HER responsibility to keep the understudies...that's what their job is - to be there in case the lead is SICK. this is all BS.

That director is a bitch! What the hell, she made you go up. You should take it up with the people above her head, really FHL over. Get her fired or threatened, yelled at, anything. But don't puke on her, that's just nasty. You should smack your understudies around though.

Sounds like she was the sort of teacher who wanted absolutely everything to be absolutely perfect. If she legitimately failed you in a way that is going to effect your grades, then you should definitely be going over her head. There's got to be someone that you can talk to and explain that what happened wasn't your fault, you tried to make your teacher understand you were sick, and she didn't listen.

That was really unprofessional on her part. If an actor is unable to perform and there are no understudies, the stage manager is supposed to read the part on stage. Failing that (which I would be shocked at since a theatre can't function without a stage manager. Though I suppose that might be why your understudies weren't around) she should have gone on herself and read the part. Either way, there's no excuse for threatening a violently sick actor onto stage, and then failing them for throwing up.

That blows...you shouldn't have gone and told your parents or something. Or gone to the dean and explained the situation. Then again...maybe they thought it was part of the act!
