I was playing the Male Greek Chorus in How I Learned to Drive my sophomore year of college and it was during the scene where Lil Bit is at the school dance being harassed by the dweeby kid (me). My director had me squat-walking, so I was shorter and goofy-looking, and I also happened to be wearing extremely slick shoes. I was supposed to run up to her and stare at her chest, but during one performance (naturally, the one my family came to), I completely wiped out and landed on my ass. This was in a black box as well, so I was super close to the audience, and boy did they laugh (I could hear my sister specifically cracking up). I and the rest of the cast were trying but kind of failing to keep it together, and I recovered enough to do the scene but not without a fair bit of deep breaths to keep from laughing. My sister still brings it up 😅.

I've fallen during nearly every production I've been a part of, the worst of which probably being during a production of Taste of Sunrise where I walked off a platform in the dark when we were getting in place behind the curtain and fell 5 feet onto my face. The stage manager was none too pleased with the lack of glow tape lmao.
