The show must go on!
Local Triangle actress Andrea Schulz Twiss took the phrase "Break a Leg" and added her own "twist" on stage opening night during Working the musical.
While enthusiastically ogling the UPS man on stage, portrayed by Coty Cockrell, Ms. Twiss lost her footing and fell on her wrist. Not making a sound, she exited the stage during the next transition, and promptly asked the back stage crew to call 911.
Ever the theater professional, Ms. Twiss instructed the EMS respondents to "just wrap it in a splint, I've got to sing during the second act". Meanwhile, on stage, the ensemble seamlessly worked together to cover the missing actress for the final 10 minutes of act one.
EMS respondents ascertained the wrist was indeed broken, asked Ms. Twiss if she would like transport to the hospital, (which she declined again), and left after getting a verbal promise from Ms. Twiss that she would go directly to the hospital after her solo in act two.
After intermission, Ms. Twiss courageously sang "It's an art", the waitress song which includes the line "There's a twist to my wrist", which the audience enthusiastically responded to. After the show, it was confirmed at the hospital that Ms. Twiss' wrist is broken and will require surgery.
Andrea continues to perform in 'Working' - full arm cast and all. The show will run two more weekends and then it may be surgery for her.
Unfortunately, Andrea and her family are currently transitioning jobs and Andrea does not have medical insurance to cover these expenses. With an Emergency room visit, doctor visits, surgery, physical therapy--the expenses are going to be staggering.
Please help us raise money to off set those expenses for Andrea and her family.
