Today, I was rehearsing for a school play. My drama teacher keeps criticising the part where I fake-trip, saying I make it look terribly fake. During today's rehearsal, I actually tripped for real, and smashed my kneecaps against the floor with a scream. He still said my "acting" sucked. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was in a play and had a battle scene. I got a little too into it and wound up twisting my ankle. The audience was treated to me screaming like a little girl before face-planting the stage a moment later. FML
Today, I had my first day in an acting class. Our assignment was to perform a dramatic monologue. I got super into it, threw myself into character, and dramatically fell to my knees to deliver a line. Unfortunately, my knees slipped, and I faceplanted into the floor in front of the entire class. FML
Today, I was stage-managing a school show. Some kids were goofing off backstage, so I yelled at them that they could hurt themselves. While walking back to my chair, I tripped over my own feet and fell 5 feet off the stage, shattering my cheekbone. FML
Today, during dress rehearsal before the show, I came in with crutches pretending I broke my leg as a joke. I then threw away the crutches, laughed and then fell down some stairs. I am now in crutches with a broken leg. I was the lead. FML
Today, I had to pretend to give birth in a play. I wanted to make it a realistic as possible but ended up crapping myself on stage by accident. FML
Today, I performed a piano piece at a school play. Everything went well until I got up and accidentally smashed my shin against one of the piano legs. Before I could bite my tongue, I'd already yelled "Fucking hell!" in front of about 50 second graders. FML
Today, I had a completely improvised audition for the school play. The director called me and one of the cutest guys auditioning to improvise an intimate scene. Knowing that I'm a complete klutz, I wasn't all that surprised when I tripped over my feet and landed with my face in his crotch. He was. FML
Today, I had a graded performance in my drama class. I had to play a murderer in an interrogation room. I got really into it and started pounding on the windows to try to "escape". The thin glass smashed. Four hours in casualty, stitches and plastic surgery pretty much sum up my mood. FML
Today, I was part of a community theater play as a prop helper. I was supposed to slide a fake letter under a door, but I got overenthusiastic and kicked it into the audience. The actor improvised, but the crowd laughed harder at my blunder than the actual play. FML
Today, my mom told me to break a leg before performing in my dancing school's show. I really did break part of my leg while performing. FML

When people are judging, they tend to show bias. He probably had the scene in his head and he wouldn't accept anything different.

Tell your teacher to get his act together cause he's tripping.

He's probably also frustrated because the old saying "Those who can't do, teach," rings true in his case.

Either that or OP may be one of those 'overly dramatic fallers', I know a few people like that and a few people did that at a store I used to work at, some people just don't know how to trip or don't want to get hurt while fake tripping so you can sorta tell. Well I can anyways, not all the time, but for the most part.

Forgot to mention that some of the few who failed to fall tried to sue for the rugs being turned up a bit.. We would watch the camera and see them fall before the rug or the rug being completely flat.

You can't win with him I guess OP, no matter what you do. Teachers like that are annoying. I'll bet he plays favourites too.

Now remember how you did that and do it in the real peformance! Good luck!

It's bad luck to say 'good luck' on opening night! Instead, substitute it with 'break a leg'.......oh pardon me, she almost did.

Bad luck to say it any time in theater not just on opening night.
mb2_native 15
I think she took the 'break a leg' saying pretty literal..

I guess he thought you were a slight "fallout"...

Dang OP can't even make a real fall look good. Time to move on to a different career.

Maybe you should wear heels - those things can make anyone trip.
NickaPLZ 26
Yeah I'd "fake trip" into punching him in the balls if he's nearby.
