*getting arrested for a suspended license snafu on the way to "belly of the whale" - one block from the church where I was about to go play Jonah. even though it WAS funny hearing  "in the belly of the jaaaaaa-aaail" during the opening number
*During a showing of Joseph - my shoe came off and flew into the first row of kids...  I think i hit a kid in  the mouth
*During the Diary of Anne Frank - two things - one - the vice principal at the school decided our show took too long - so he let our backstage sound effects guy know - and the SS came and discovered us about 30 minutes early - and then - there was the time that Jessica was making me laugh SO HARD - so when the SS came to discover us (on time this time) i was CRACKING UP.  I know.  not funny.  but still.
*OH - 1776 - Mark (Ben Frankling) and I (Mr. Adams) were doing our intro lines right before Jefferson comes in for The Egg...  Guess who never showed?  Yeah - Mark and I ad libbed for like 5 minutes before he showed up. 
* oh yeah - CHristmas show, i have the last line in little drummer boy - I'm about to sing "Me and my drum" when i look up at the back row of the audience at this middle school and this kid looks right into my eyes and mouths "Fag"...  I was like.  oh.  what?  and then i just didn't sing my line.
*Joseph - Billy didn't show up at call, so we left without him.  We were trying to figure out how to cover him when he called.  he had checked himself into a mental hospital because he was feeling off - and they wouldn't let him out.

i, too could go on for days. i miss my AEP days a lot sometimes... good friends and hilarious times.
