Stage Dive


On Monday, April 2nd Zephyr Ciesar took a tragic fall while rehearsing for an upcoming performance of Anything Goes. She played the role of Reno Sweeny, the female lead in the show that was supposed to open later this month. She was doing her big number on the set, which was a ship that’s top deck was sixteen feet off of the ground. She was tapping the choreographed part of the song, Anything Goes, in heels and lost her balance, falling backward off of the back of the ship. “When she fell she let out ear piercing screams,” said an anonymous cast member. Immediately someone called an ambulance. “I don’t know how we are going to do the performance,” said director Lizbeth Thomas, “but we are just happy that the fall didn’t kill her or injure her anymore than it did.” It has been released that she broke her collar bone and arm, but will be okay.
