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.

I still remember all my linesJunior year in high school (yikes! almost 20 years ago already!). "The Crucible." I had more stage time than the main character, I played Hopkins, the bailiff in the courtroom. Remember him? C'mon, you've got to remember him!
My entire script: "The deputy governor has arrived, sir."
Thank you! Thank you! Enjoy the buffet! Here all week!
