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.

one way and anotherMe and my best mate at the time used to be the class fools, everytime there was a play or something we'd have parts made up for us for the comedy element.
Peter Pan as one example i suppose, had 2 pirates made for comic effect, also, used to recite films e.t.c.
what i've neglected to mention is that this was between 15-20 years ago, since then i went back stage (technical)
and my mate i haven't seen from school stayed on stage, having just reformed his band under a different name after kicking out the crack head singer
