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.

When I was a wee lass at the age of 5I used to be in this little ballet class though the description dancing like a mong to shit music would be more appropriate.
Each year, everybody would be in this play. The theme was Princess and Knight. On stage, I got into a fight with a boy who I had to hold hands with for the dance. I'm not sure what happened, but I slapped him, he kicked me, we screamed at each other and the whole crowd was laughing their asses off.
I used to have it on video, but I lost it..
