so, today was the AH Chorale Department's last performance of "Into the Woods". we wanted to go out with a bang, and typically on the last day of production, its tradition to add something funny.
however we didn't, so we as a tech crew, and stage crew decided to fog up the whole stage during the last song, we did so. we used the fog for all of our performances, so fire alarms weren't an issue, at the time at least. so we went through with our plan and with about 5-10 minutes left into the show, the fire alarms go off, with an obnoxious voice over the alarms:
"ATTENTION, THERE HAS BEEN A REPORTED EMERGENCY, PLEASE EVACUATE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT USE ANY ELEVATORS."
the show ended and we were waiting for the AHFD to arrive so we can tell them it was a false alarm, they arrived, and we told them what happened. they turned off the alarms, walked into the auditorium pissed, and gave us a warning.
the best finale, ever.
our audience loved the action by the way.
