Top Ten Drama Mishaps
1. With so many costume changes, it is impossible to be “modest”. There is always a possibility of getting “flashed” by someone else.
2. Losing your pants…and finding them pushed in the back of a locker when doing stage cleanup the Sunday after the play.
3. “Do Me Secular”. Making up new phrases that make no sense.
4. Everyone teaming up to steal your pants again. Resort to locking your pants into your locker.
5. Stepping on everyone’s feet. During practices, everyone goes without shoes, better for dancing.
6. Running into people while coming off stage. Crowding around trying to see two people do their kiss can be very dangerous.
7. Getting your costumes mixed up. When your pants are way too big and someone else’s are way too small, you know something’s wrong.
8. Make up. Freshmen and new guys don’t understand that EVERYONE needs makeup. Otherwise, you’ll look too white or shiny. It’s part of drama…get over it.
9. Drawing on the backstage walls. Not cool. Mr. Stiles will rip you to shreds. You’ll be the one all nice and snug under the stage in the coffin.
10. Shut up. People pay to watch the show. Not listen to some catfight (about hairspray) backstage.

11. Don't touch the prop if it's not yours. 12. Fart Focus! (Ask Stiles if you've never heard of it) 13. What happens backstage stays backstage. 14. If you go to the "secret place" without Stiles as a guide you're as good as a thief. 15. SMOKE MACHINES. Have a backup plan for when they don't work. Key word: WHEN, not IF.
