Okay, here's a good one:

Try coming in right on cue, with your lines memorized, your costume and props all correct, respecting everyone's time and effort.

Your director will wail with laughter in disbelief.

ok dude heres a good one 1#do the old buket full of water prank 2# scrub the floor with soap make sure the soap is wet 3#dump dirt all around the floor dont dump the dirt o the soap coverd ground 4# last when some one walks under and the buket of water dumps on him or her the soap should make them hit the ground coverd in dirt if they downt hit the ground run up and push them in the dirt 5# run away . trust me the joke is verry funny lol.^^

As an actor and director, I don't care how good-natured your pranks are, they are a distraction to the whole rehearsal process, and I'm fairly certain your director doesn't appreciate them. Why don't you try the prank where you sit quietly in the wings rehearsing your lines or choreography, then don't miss an entrance from being away playing some stupid practical joke.

Speaking as a professional stage manager: I don't care if it's a "shitload" of hours; you're in rehearsal to rehearse, not to pull pranks.

So many of the questions in here are from people who want to know what it takes to become a famous actor. I can tell you one thing for sure, pulling pranks during rehearsal is a good way to NEVER get famous, because directors will stop working with you if you don't take the process seriously.
