We opened my play last night and it was all going swimmingly. Then in the very last scene of the play, heres where things go crazy, theres are multiple parts where people have to drink "spiked coffee" (which is actually just unsweetened tea) from a paper cup. It actually plays into the story quite a bit. But last night, someone decided to put something absolutely horrible in the tea. I still dont know what it was. I tasted like a cooked hot pocket stuffed with those chalky vitamins.
So our lead guy takes a drink of this horrible tea (now, keep in mind that its spiked. His character is shit faced and only wants to continue to get drunk but doesnt even know the coffee is spiked, so hes chugging it straight from the kettle) and he nearly throws up on stage. He did a spit take with the tea and it ended up soaking our second lead. This wouldnt have been an issue... If she wouldnt have forgotten her skivvies in the dressing room. She quickly grabbed a cushion off of a chair and then ran back stage to ready herself again and just trucked on like a fucking boss. And it was a good day.
