On the stageToo shy to ever appear on stage myself, I still hung around theatres like a bad smell when I was younger - lighting and set design were what I was good at.
Backstage we'd attempt to sabotage every production - us lighting geeks would wind up the sound man by putting the remote "pause" button for his reel-to-reel tape machine on his chair, so when he sat down it'd start running, ruining his cues. Actors would do scenes out of order to make our lives hell. It was great and I don't know why I don't still do it.
Tell us your stories of life on the stage.

Stiffy HorrorNot me thankfully but an arty friend at school who was always doing plays and all that shite. After every play we had there were photos plastered over the notice boards.
Unfortunately for my friend one of the photos consisted of her pointing to a fellow cast member's pant area who had the biggest stiffy ever. So much so I knew from then on why they call it 'pitching a tent'.
Just in case anyone missed it someone also drew a great big bastard arrow pointing to the offending member. How thoughtful.
