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.

when i was a wee lassi was in some ballet show where i had to dress up as a rabbit with bunny ears etc. and then i pissed myself on stage. i dont know what happened, i was very small. so there i was, standing in a puddle of my own urine. embarrassing enough i'd have thought. but no, my dear mother was videoing the production. instead of switching the camera off, she zoomed in on me and you can hear her laughing on the tape! she still thinks its funny to get it out at christmas and other family occasions. ho ho.
