Okay, since I had a huge lack of people daring me, I went into the dare threads on the forums at www.scriptfrenzy.org. Here are the dares that I stole, plus the ones that were directly directed at me...er, yeah :D
1. Ladders. Lots and lots of ladders, all sizes and shapes that the actors have to maneuver around, over, under and through. I like ladders.
2. Pranks. Practical jokes. Like leaving a whoopee cushion on their seat, or having a bunch of snow be dropped on their head, or someone jumping out at them (from behind one of the ladders, maybe? ;-D)...If it was in real life, we ticked off our director a lot during rehearsal by just talking and singing and laughing really loud...
3. stage managers who are supposed to be in top of prompting, but who choose to do homework/whisper and giggle with the assistant director instead of following along in the script.
4. actors begging to change lines in ways that do not even make sense within the context of the play when they know that altering the text could get us sued, or cost us award eligibility in a festival.
5. Character substitutes swearwords with food items
6. I would get him one of those pink plastic megaphones. Its very hard to muster up much self confidence when you are in possession of a pink plastic megaphone and what is a big time director without his elephant of an ego? If he got other megaphones, they would mysteriously and magically disappear in an unfortunate case of a Bermuda Triangle for voice magnifying instruments.
7. Have one character who always shows up late in every scene.
8. Have your MC freak out over something really small (like loosing his/her gloves) and I mean freak out. Tears, screaming, hitting, the works.
LOL! This June is going to be sooooo funny!
