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.

Im the greatest dancer!In 1990 Christmas there was a big ballet and dance do on this massive stage. This was the time that my sister and I did ballet (I hated it, prefered to draw instead) and were included in this concert thing which was all about the 4 seasons. I was 5-6 at the time and had to be an easter chick dancing with others like me and bunnies. I remember at the time having the bright lights shining in my eyes on that huge stage and telling the others what to do.
I look at the video we borght later now and Im just gorping and plodering along as good as the rest of them. My sister recently pointed out she had no clue what she was doing for one of the dances (she did 3) and on close inspection, her mates were dragging heround like a hopeless case.
Wern't the shittest act though, some silly 3-5 year olds did patticake and 'once i causght a fish alive'. Well thats what they were supossed to do, my video clearly shows most of the boys punching or hitting each other with their fishng rods.
