I’m a high school senior, and I’m playing a principle character (but not a lead or supporting character) in this year’s school musical. For most of my scenes, I have a microphone. There are only a few microphones so the principles have to share. All through rehearsal, I had enough time to swap microphones with my designated partner. However, on opening night, I didn’t, and I couldn’t get my microphone on in time. It fell out of my dress while I was onstage. I pretended like it wasn’t even there, and this angered my director.

What should I have done? Is it better to break curtain, or to break character? And what should I do if it happens in subsequent performances?

Well that's a dilema, talk to your director about it, he was probably just mad because it was opening night, tell him that it was an accident and that you didn't want to break character, he may understand, and if it happens again, just start talking loudly, but don't lie, it will hurt your voice


I am in a school production of Bye Bye Birdie. I think I am doing OK with the memorization of my lines, but sometimes I foget where to go and don't know how to dramatize certain parts. (I play Mrs. Peterson, a huge over-reactor) i am usually good at giving advice about this stuff, but I am stuck. Does anyone know how I could be mroe dramatic and confident in myself?

(Note: I haven't read the other answers yet)

ALl you need to do is go to your director (most likely your drama teacher) and ask him/her if you could stay after rehersals so he/she could help you with everything

Hope i helped,
Brett
