Today, the play I was directing opened. The curtain opened, and my lead actor and actress weren't prepared. I could tell from the looks on their faces as the whole audience saw him balls deep in her, doggy style, on stage. FML

headinabag33 tells us more.

Hey...OP here. So in this theatre there are two curtains. The second one (more up stage, away from the audience) has been broken. So we just open both curtains, since the second one never opens. We perform in front of it and it's no big deal. We get some great lighting off it really, and once we had someone stand back there and shake it and looked cool. Someone fixed the second curtain without telling us. The actors were having sex behind the "broken" curtain and it opened. No one told them to stop because they were quiet, and no one wants to tell people to quit having sex... So anyway, there it is.

I hope it was them who were fired and not you, op, since that couldn't possibly be your fault.

this is sarcasm, right? you're supposed to check the stage and make sure all your actors are ready before opening the curtain. how did nobody see them doing that? and they must have been making some noise. I think both the director and/or stage manager (whoever opened the curtains without checking), as well as the two people *******, should be fired.

I really hope, that the stage before the curtains opened was dark as a black hole and they were supposed to be there in their starting pose, so nobody could check on them...otherwise, someone made a big mistake!

Well that's one way to open with a bang.

right as the curtain is due to go up? on stage?! **** sake!

How'd they even manage that? Isn't everyone usually running around trying to get ready? The fact that no one had any clue until the curtains opened is kind of impressive lol.
