In primary school (7yrs old), we were doing the Nativity. I was a bit pissed that I was the first inn-keeper and not Joseph.
When that smug prick Declan (playing Joseph) loudly ask: Do you have a room for me and my wife?
Instead of the line 'No', that I was supposed to give, I responded with: YES! Come on in, I was just making supper, do you like lamb?'
Nobody knew what to do. From the audience I could hear my auntie laughing, and I swear I heard my mother call me a 'little gobshite'.
After an age, a teacher came on with a tea towel on her head and said, 'Hello, I am the inn-keeper's wife. I am sorry but we just rented the last room. Please try somewhere else.'
I got in trouble with the nuns but it was worth it!

During rehearsal for Newsies, we were doing King of New York and I fell off the table I was dancing on. Nearly happened but played it off.

At one of my friends plays the smoke machine flooded the stage with chemicals and during a totally random and mundane part of the play there were tears rolling down the faces of all those poor actors

Probably when the computer that was hooked up to the sound system got a spam full of notifications during a performance and the noise that Windows makes was being spammed that the whole audience could hear it. Us backstage were dying of laughter and embarrassment

I think by theatre you mean cinema? Nothing I can remember.

Once at the theatre, (the one with stage and curtain), a member of the audience passed out and paramedics turned up.
The problem was I wasn’t sure whether it wasn’t part of the play as the play was "the play that goes wrong"…!

It wasn’t part of the play, that poor lady was taken away on a stretcher.
