(In real life I am part of a community theatre production of Ragtime, this tid bit will help the dream make a little more sense... I think. The actors in my dream in no way resembled the real actors.)
During a performance of Ragtime the actor who plays Coalhouse's little nephew jumped up on stage and ran into the backdrop house. Some of the other actors and I were behind the house. Coalhouse was mad and asked me and the actor who played Booker T to go out in front and glare at the kid until he left the stage. We did and when he left we returned to the area behind the house and the show continued. My parents were in the audience.
The Sarah character had a song to sing but the pianist started playing the wrong music. I jumped off stage to find the right music and put in a cassette tape so she could start.
At intermission I took my script to the restroom. There were men and women in the restroom and it was PACKED. I cut in line and told the lady I was in the show. There was a grassy hill in the bathroom with a little cottage/outhouse sitting on top of it. I went into that little bathroom room thing.
After I was done I ran back to the stage while freaking out. I couldn't remember any of my lines (I have 2 lines in the real life show). I was relieved that the first act was done by us hiding behind the wall and reading from out scripts.
I was shopping for chocolate vases in the backstage area with the actors playing Sarah's friends. We were wearing prom dresses.
I think the show would be much better if it involved chocolate vases and prom dresses.
