DumbPlayCo Update: Blood is Shed! →[More:] Okay, our show has gone from bad to surreal to dangerous. Last night one of my castmates tore his head up from a botched exit. Why was it botched? Because someone had the bright idea that his scene would be funny if he were wearing a metal garbage can on top of his haid!
So our boy missed his exit off stage, fell, and ripped his head up and left a six-inch dent in the can.
Paramedics were called, and another castmate said the accident was like "popping your fingernail into a ripe orange".
So, one person hospitalized, we do a review of the show this evening, and the weather hasn't cleared at the theater yet either, so the set paint keeps ruining our clothes and costumes. Mud is everywhere.
Rainbaby - I see now why outdoor theater is ridiculous. Never again.
