Okay,so this is one of my backstage stories that I still to this day laugh my head off at.

The one in the middle is me.......yeah,laugh it up....... |
My very first school play I did was in 2010 and we performed ''Grease''.I was Danny,which was lucky for a sixth grader up against 7th and 8th graders trying out for the same part.Anyway,there was a scene in the show in which Danny runs in with a pair of shorts on because he's suppose to be running track.The pair of shorts I was wearing,I wore under my blue jeans throughout the first part of the play until that scene,then I would take the jeans off over my shoes and go to the scene.The scene change from the dance scene to the scene where I'm running was a really quick quick change.On our third performance night,I wasn't so lucky with the quick change.....My pants got stuck.Two of my buddies helped me get one pant leg off,but my cue came and I went on stage with my pants dragging behind me with one pant leg on one ankle.The crowd was in an uproar of laughter!I delivered my line and then the guys on stage proceeded to pull the leg off...Right there on stage!!!I was on the stage floor pulling my foot as the other two boys were pulling the opposite way,pulling off my pant leg.The crowd was still laughing!At least they were laughing...They finally managed to get my pant leg off and they threw them backstage.We continued the scene kinda like something didn't just happen.I was so embarrassed!What a night!
About a week later,I got the DVD copy of our performance....they filmed the third night....the night that my pants were dragging behind me.At least then,I was able to laugh at it.

So just keep one thing in mind.........Stuff Happens.
Haha I remember that! Grease was awesome, definitely a great start to several great theatre careers for us and our castmates :)
