<p>Omg help.</p>

<p>Tonight was opening night for our musical, Willy Wonka.</p>

<p>I'm working in the sound booth. Generally us sound folks in the booth use an intercom system to communicate with the actors in the dressing rooms to warn them about how much time they have until their next scene/etc. Also, we sometimes just chat it up via the intercom system when the actors have a long time before they have to go back on stage.</p>

<p>Well tonight, opening night, I was joking around with the boys in the boy's dressing room over the intercom, and a really quiet and important scene was going on onstage.</p>

<p>I accidentally hit the "house" (auditorium) button instead of the dressing room button, announcing to the entire audience via intercom (and completely interrupting the scene) that "I want to get with Eric's mom because I'm just ghettofabulous like that." It was really loud.</p>

<p>I immediately started crying and now everyone hates me and yells at me. No one would talk to me after the show except for the leads that threatened to report me to the director for ongoing immaturity. (which i don't have! this was a one time deal!)</p>

<p>What do I do?</p>

<p>Omgosh, I’m so sorry:/</p>

<p>Did people recognize your voice?</p>

5

<p>oh… wow… I did not know stuff like that happened outside of movies and television… um… I’d say just lay low for a while until people forget</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about that…</p>

<p>I’m sure people will get forget about it sooner or later. Probably, won’t be such a big deal after a while. It won’t last forever…</p>

<p>Wow, well I know this must be really horrible. I guess you should probably go to a school director, whether its a principle, person over musicals etc… even a teacher, and ask them this question. May even help to ask students who are willing to listen to you. There isn’t really much you can do besides understanding you interrupted the musical and countinue your school day as you’ve always have.</p>

<p>Don’t worry, we love you lol Thanks for sharing</p>

10

<p>You want people to talk to you again? Just follow-through with your words. I’m sure no one would hate you then…except perhaps…well it depends…</p>

11

<p>What a loser.</p>

12

<p>Tell everyone that: </p>

<ol>
<li>it’s just a stupid musical</li>
<li>suck it up</li>
<li>and get over it</li>
</ol>

<p>That’s what I would do.</p>

13

<p>Why do these kind of things always happen to you??!!</p>

<p>The soda, the AP’s, etc. </p>

<p>It’s okay. Theater people aren’t worth your time anyways. At least not at my school.</p>

14

<p>who cares? its play people…</p>

15

<p>There’s is only one thing left to do, something so obvious it is amazing that you have yet done it.</p>

<p>I honestly laughed when I read this. </p>

<p>I’m sorry if that’s cruel, but yeah… I don’t really have any advice for you.</p>

17

<p>but seriously i know this is cheesy and **** but think how funny this story will be a couple of years (or maybe even a couple of months!) from now… :slight_smile: </p>

<p>if it helps a couple of years ago i single handedly lost a basketball game for my team. literally. we were up by 1 point, there were about 10 seconds left on the clock, and the other team had the ball. our coach yelled “don’t foul” but i thought he yelled “foul.” Not thinking AT ALL, I very obviously and very purposefully shoved the girl next to me. We were in foul trouble so she got to shoot 2 free throws. She made them both. We lost by 1 point.</p>

<p>Now I tell the story to all my friends and almost split my sides laughing about it :). I promise, these things get less painful and everyone totally forgets about it… Plus stories like ours are great icebreakers for meeting new people. trust me. :)</p>

18

<p>Theater people are so dramatic. (ha…ha)</p>

<p>Just pretend it didn’t happen and it blow over pretty quickly.</p>

19

<p>HOW DOES tHE DIRECTOR NOT KNOW YOU DID THIS?!?!?</p>

<p>haha i find this funny…but i’m sorry</p>
