You get away with a lot if A) You are the Student Director or B) You are filling in for someone who got sick on short notice. I was doing both yesterday afternoon. This the story of the soda run.
Moe's got a fancy new coke machine next door, and I had just finished my soda. I was parched, and we still had time till we went on. I knew I wasn't supposed to drink anything but water in my costume, but I figured I had done this enough that I wouldn't spill anything. So, I was out of soda, had nothing to drink, and was desperate. I got up from my seat on the stairs, and walked to the back entrance to the theater (which was in the same room). I told everyone "I will be right back. Cover for me." I was in full hair, makeup, costume, the whole shebang. I was just about to leave when my sister said "Lex, wait. Get Georgia Blue to do it." I didn't even think of it. She was in the green room hanging out with us, and she wasn't even acting. So, I called Ms. Georgia Blue over to ask her to get me a Vanilla Coke. "I have to ask my Mama, but I will do it if she lets me." Off she goes with my cup. I wait for a few moments. Time passes. Mrs. G yells at us (again. Really, who is surprised?) and walks off. Next thing I know, Georgia Blue is back with my cup, which is now full of soda and ice. I couldn't believe it. I was completely elated. I thank her, and walk back to my staircase seat next to Briana.
Just to make this cheesy, I am in your debt Georgia Blue. Either way, I got some soda and didn't really have to do anything. Being the Student Director Extraordinaire has more perks than you think.
