No...I just do not understand 10 year olds, and why it always comes down to threats when it doesn't have to.

Actually, a bad dress is a good thing. Panicked and pressured, they will go home and study their lines. The number one reason a play goes south is actors who don't know their lines.

Well that's what they say....bad dress rehearsal good performance. They made it all the way to dress rehearsal without knowing their lines?

I've noticed that three of the best actors I have ever had the "pleasure" seeing were a certain 11, 7, and 5 year olds that live in my house.

SCENE: LIVING ROOM, FATHER HEARS A "CRASH!" FROM ONE OF THE CHILDREN'S BEDROOMS AND GOES TO INVESTIGATE.
FATHER: All right, who broke that lamp?
ALL 3 CHILDREN IN UNISON: We don't know. What lamp?

Pure Oscar(TM) material.
