A bat flew into the theatre during a show I was doing. It swooped over our heads and then parked itself on the stage wall for the rest of the show. It made its way first over the audience. It was like watching a wave being done from front to back and then to the front again.

Krupke's night stick nearly konked me on the head during West Side Story. Being young and not knowing what to do, I tossed it back onstage.

Clothes fell onto one of our sax players in a strip number from Gypsy. He enjoyed that a little too much.

And the baton twirler in Music Man dropped her baton into the pit, missing my very pregnant belly by inches. Speaking of that, I was 8 months pregnant with my son and we played in a movable pit. As we were about one third of the way up there was no getting in or out until intermission. The younger guys in the show were so funny...they were convinced I would go into labor and have the baby right there. Lucky for all of us he waited.
