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.

backsatgeJust finished backstage "work" on merchant of venice. Fun stuff. Ended up just sitting there and playing blackjack for the most part and then scene changing which we managed to screw up pretty much every night.
Actors missing lines as well pissed us and lighting guys up.
fun stuff happens behind the scenes :P
