trail to oregon is so iconic. i feel like it has the most recorded bloopers of all the starkid shows. this is the golden era of starkid imo, when they were just theater kids messing around on stage and being absolutely stupid and it wasn't about quality. i mean don't get me wrong i love that they've expanded and gotten more talented over the years. but trail to oregon is just this pocket dimension of transcendental theater kid goofiness that i'll never get over.

According to the drama club alumni in my school, once in the drama club an actor was supposed to shoot a blank in a gun duel, but someone loaded it with an actual shot. Thankfully, they were able to notice it before it was time to pull the trigger, so the actor played it off like the gun wasn’t loaded and did a whole improve scene on how the gun was not good enough for the supposed “best shot in the west” and had them give him a different gun. It was all super smooth and didn’t feel even a bit out of place. Wish I could’ve been there to see it.

I still think the best bit of improv was in a play I saw in high school. One of my friends was cast as the lead, and in one scene, he gives a pearl necklace to the love interest. It was closing night, and the necklace broke. He brushed it off very well, but the funny part was later. During an entirely different scene, something else broke. A broom I think. And Brian goes “first the pearls, now this?” And it was very funny.

Jamie just holding onto Joey like that the entire time. One day I hope to be that comfortable with someone.

Jamie was probably so glad her head was buried in Joey's shoulder because I'm sure she nearly died trying not to laugh.

During the first night, the song wouldn't come on for the tech team and I, in a state of mild panic, tried to make a joke and just went "shoes, right?" I continued for a tad bit afterwards but I got the audience to laugh at the first line and that's all that matters
