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.

Another oneI went to see my friend in her A level drama play. The drama group had been split into two and so there was a play before and after the interval. My friend was in the first half along with a simple but lovely girl called Jenny. They did their play and it was very good. As we went to another room for interval drinks the 2nd group set up in the drama studio- they were doing a themed play about arranged marriage and were spending time creating a lovely indian style set and had even lit joss sticks to make it more atmospheric. As we re-entered the studio, Jenny sniffed, and then loudly proclaimed 'I smell incest!' Bless her.
