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.

away in a mangerat this local christmas do when I was about 5, I got up and sang "away in a manger" in a sickly sweet manner. old ladies still reminded me of it up until we moved away when I was 12.
I also came very close to being michael jackson in a local kids drama club version of thriller, purely ue to the fact that I can roll my eyes so the pupils are hidden, but I chucked a sickie on the day of the show.
