A Bit Anticlimactic
"Welcome to the Hallam Theatre at Prince George's Community College. We ask that you do not eat or drink in the theatre. In the event of an emergency..."
Thump.
There was a gasp from the audience. Everyone on headset stopped making jokes and looked around to figure out where the sound had come from, and the actors backstage looked at each other wonderingly.
"There will be a 15-minute intermission. We advise you that..."
The audience was talking over the pre-show announcement. Obviously something was wrong.
"Thank you and..." Gary cut off the sound before the announcement's end. He sent someone to call an ambulance and the school's on-duty nurse. Tammy got on the tannoy and asked the audience to please walk in an orderly fashion out to the lobby to wait. Backstage, the actors wondered what the heck was going on.
At first, all we were told was that a man had passed out, and he was a cancer patient. The actors were instructed to wait in the girls' dressing room to find out more. After 10 minutes of waiting and worrying, watching some of the boys make jokes to ease the tension in the room, we were visted by Andre. He announced that the show for the evening was canceled, due to the ambulance still being there and the stressed mood of the audience.
It turns out that it was the husband of an elderly woman in one of my classes, whom I work with in the shop when she comes in to do her lab hours. She just had surgery on Wednesday, and her husband was going in for a CAT scan next week. She's been so excited to see the show! I really hope that everything's alright and that she and her husband can make it to another performance.
What a horrible thing to happen! Alright, who said the "M" word onstage???
Thump.

How Low Can You Go?
This guy's low-rider started riding a little too low, and he got stuck. Not as cool as you thought you were, huh buddy?
It was rather a funny sight to see at 7am at the Metro station!
