Worst Flubbed Line/Missed Cue/Onstage Mishap

At the old Arts District Theatre at Dallas Theater Center - I was playing Tartuffe and was on top of a table ready to make love to Elmire and my entire seam of my pajama bottoms ripped out. I was wearing only a dance belt and half of a full house got to enjoy a full moon rising.

Worst Costume

Same play, I had to wear a loin cloth that I was sewn into every night, while I carried a huge yellow cross across the stage and then mounted the cross to be an image of Jesus.  Didn't get a laugh in Dallas.
