It was in the 2nd act, a friend and I played Servicemen in the Calvary and were to walk into a saloon carrying a wounded Soldier ( one of the main characters). To start it out, we could not find the Soldier to carry him in, and while we were looking for him, we missed our cue, well, it turns out that he was on the other wing. So here's what happened. First one of the onstage characters came running in saying, " did you hear 'joe ( or whatever) has been shot" In walks Joe carried by 4 other stage crew members with calvary hats on. Then in walks me and my buddy all decked out in Calvary attire. So what do we do? We tell those stage crew people to get back to their posts, so they walk out. Now let me tell you , that these people were wearing the black stage crew shirts with "stage crew" written on them and everything. well the funny thing is after the show, nobody in the audience never said a thing about it as if it were never seen. I have another one in the next note.
