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.

In a primary school productionwritten by our teacher (who I'm beginning to think must have been somewhat fond of chemical enjoyment) I played the roles both of the mother of the 3 little pigs, and then later, of the butcher who comes along once they've all been horribly murdered, in order to turn them in to tasty dinners.
Thinking about it, that play was a touch strange, to say the least.
