An actor forgets the monologue that's supposed to end the entire play. Welcome to Theatre Fails, a comedy theatre podcast sharing hilarious true stories of live theatre gone wrong. In Episode 1 of Theatre Fails, six theatre people share their funniest onstage mishaps: We're talking about the night the script stopped being helpful, the costume stopped being cooperative, the prop did the exact opposite of its ONE job, and somebody "yes-anded" SO HARD that they potentially changed the ending of the entire show...you couldn't make up if you tried. *🎭 WHAT IS THEATRE FAILS?* Theatre Fails is a comedy and storytelling podcast hosted by professional stage actor MacKenzie Skye, featuring real stories from actors and theatre professionals about the wonderfully unpredictable world of live performance.
