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.

This business we call 'Show'What a pretentious little tit I was as a kid.
I wanted to be Lena Zavaroni, and as my dad always played in a band, I got the sickly little opportunity at about the age of 6, to sing some choice tracks from one of her albums, in the band's interval. To a crowd of about 200, I'll pretentiously have you all know!
I got a round of applause, but that's just good manners.
