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.

GameIn 6th grade, this real dick of a teacher made us all be in a play, which was just strange and bizarre. We were supposed to be strange little fairies or something that were to burst forth from a 'Gameboy', which was just a wooden frame and paper covering the opening we were to jump through. The second girl through trip over the frame and fell flat on her face in front of a packed audience. We couldn't help but crack up, because we were 11 year old bastards.
