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

Coming and going

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

Complain to the principal. That is totally out of line.

Theatre teachers are psychotic pretty much by definition. Incidents like this are not uncommon. Complain if you wish, but don't expect an apology or an "A." Stay away from the drama department if it gets under your skin that much.

Get your parents to send a letter of complaint to the principal and school administrators. At the very least you shouldn't be failed for going through with the show while ill. That's just mean!

She should have failed your understudies for being unreachable...they were the ones that weren't fulfilling their responsibilities. That said, having done a lot of theater in my time, I have to agree with #44...doesn't sound like something like this would have actually happened...

It's a word that can be spelled two ways. Like grey and gray. It's the story that matters.

Thats rough man. Like so many people have said, go to the dean or principle. Don't take that sitting down, I'm surprised you didn't slap her across the face. I know its the first thing I would have done.

#41: Just being a theatre teacher doesn't give you an excuse to treat your students like shit. OP should expect both an apology AND an A, on top of official disciplinary action against the teacher. If incidents like this aren't uncommon, then that doesn't indicate that theatre/drama teachers are psychotic; it indicates a complete failing of the principal/higher school authorities.
