Ok, so we are going to hit two birds with one stone in this one. (Considering our aim... we will probably hit some random pedestrian...)
Gage and I were in a play called 'The Pirates Of Penzance'. It was lots of fun Ha, Speak for yourself, we got to sing, wear cool costumes and dance around with swords. Some of them real! (Remember that... It's important for later...)
I personally liked to add fun little quirks to my character to make them more interesting. Fat Chance In this particular play I would always have and apple with me, Can you say weird? even in the fighting scenes, and we would always use them to add some comedy (i.e. in one scene I tied Quinn to the mast and put the apple on his head, Then the Pirate king came and swung his sword around and accidentally cut it in half (the trick was that we had previously cut it in half and balanced it on Quinn's head)
Anyway, whenever we did curtain call at the end of the show I would roll my apple onto the stage, Poorly then I would run out and dive for it, Like an olympic swimmer!! then get up and give my bow. Just for kicks Cause no one was clapping!!.
However one the second to last night, the night we were filming the production, I rolled my apple a little too hard. Sounds like you were tripping? (Badumching!!)... I watched as my apple rocketed really? you act as if you were a pitcher for the yankees? toward the audience faster than anticipated... For some reason I decided that I was going to get it or die( Fingers Crossed ) trying. So I raced out from the curtain as fast as I could and dived Pretty sure you 'dove' for the apple. (Picture this in slow motion) I have to admit it is funnier to picture it in slow motion. I flew through the air, my arms outstretched, my eye on the apple, and my body slammed down hard on the wooden stage floor. I slid maybe 12 feet Exageration... it was more like 2 or 3... just sayin.., groping for the apple that was only just barely out of my reach. finally my hand closed around the darn thing just as it cleared the lip of the stage This is turning into a novel..., then, as one, the apple and I continued off the stage, flipping in the air, barroling Not sure thats true... pretty sure you did one of those cartoon being supsended in mid air until you realized you weren't on the ground any more things. towards the audience.
Luckily I didn't hit anybody but I did land on the extention cord that gave power to the lights the pianists were using to see the music.
So everything halted. It got darker. Silence fell... all eyes trained to the spot where the skinny or not so skinny.. kid had ended his show stealing stunt.
After a few quiet seconds I leaped to my feet with my arms in the air as if i had just landed some sort of gymnastic stunt, apple still in hand. Applause! (It was more of a pity applause..)
