How To Annoy Your Drama Teacher 
Careful! These could get you kicked out of class! My advice is: These are to laugh at, not to do!

Hide the props (especially the important props). 

Break the props. 

Lock the keys to the prop box in the prop box. 

Play volleyball on stage when you are supposed to be rehearsing. No ball? Pick a prop, any prop! 

Arrive to class/rehearsal late all the time. 

Leave class/rehearsal early all the time. 

When he/she tells you that your improv is over, keep going. 

Deny the existence of Shakespeare. 

Ask him/her to help you with your math homework when you are supposed to be rehearsing. 

Every day wear a cape from the costume department and run around insisting that everyone calls you "master". 

When your teacher tells you that your character is devastated because of the loss of their sister, the first thing out of your mouth on stage is "Ding Dong the witch is 
dead!" 

Yell "line" even if you are not on stage. 

Play with the stage lights. 

While prompting, and a fellow classmate asks you for a line, ask them what page they are on. 

Rearrange all of the books in your teacher's office to fit your personal favorites. 

Everyday whine about your parts. 

Forget your script book. 

Everyday ask: "Why didn't I get the lead in the school play?" 

Take 20 minutes to set up a simple living room set. 

Run around the drama room. 

Hide in the sets when he/she is taking attendance. 

Always talk. 

Take the costumes, pretend that you are a helicopter and fling them over your head (don’t forget to make the helicopter sound too). 

Set all of his/her stop-watches/alarms so that every five minutes a new one goes off. 

Sing the song "this is the song that never ends" but change the words to "this is the play that never ends......" 

Spend the class in his/her office looking at all of his/her confidental memos. 

When caught looking at those memos, defend yourself by telling him/her that it isn't your fault that they leave all of their important paper work out. 

Pretend that you are a telephone and make yourself ring. Remember, the louder the ring, the better. 

Refuse to work with your partner because he/she drives you insane. So what if you did pick that person to work with you..... 

Act like you are a five year old trapped inside a teenager's body. 

Enter the class with only five minutes to go. When your teacher "reminds" you that you were supposed to perform today, tell her/him that you have a very busy life and HAD to call you agent! 

Sleep during class/rehearsal (hey, the couch is there for goodness sake. You were just testing the props). 

Write a script using your own real names for the characters and rehearse all week. Then decide that you want to change roles, but not the names of the characters. Do this without telling your teacher and perform your scene. 

Perform a scene from Romeo and Juliet using a southern accent and giggle all the way through it. 

Forget your lines in the middle of a scene, stop, look up and ask if you can start over. 

Write a scene using the following dialogue: 
A: Don't sit there. B: Why not? A: Because. B: Because why? A: Don't sit there. B: Why? A: Just don't sit there. B: Why? A: Because. B: Just because? A: Don't sit there. B: Why? And continue. Remember it has to be a five minute scene. 

Write all of your monologues about Hanson (or insert your own group) and talk about how much you "love" them. 

When instructed to make the most elaborate set during a set design assignment, hand in a blank sheet. 

Hand in a set design with one tiny dot in the middle of your stage. When asked what that dot is supposed to represent, tell your teacher to hold the paper right up to their face, squint and shake. Then inform your teacher that at this point they should be seeing the symbol for a couch.
