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 have more of these than should be realbuut seeing as I'm just about to go and get drunk I'll start with a quick one.
Doing lighting for a pantomime at a local theatre. A young lady I knew was in the show and she used to come up to the lighting box. I fancied the tits off her, (ý was 15 at the time maybe), she used to 'touch' me on the knee. One day she got a little bit too near my special place and I pressed the wrong button. The stage blacked out completely.
