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.

i'm such a drama queeni love school plays - the more cheesy they are, the better.
last year we did the campest version of sweeny todd ever...
and the year before that we did "dracula spectacular", in which i was one of three american students.
we three students were on stage throughout but each of us had one line that that we just kept repeating.
mine was "i like it, know what i mean?" in the worst american accent you've ever heard.
I was chuffed to bits.
I got to sing a solo.
I was absolutely shit.
and i even forgot my line at one point.
this year we're doing "dazzle" and i'm a gun wielding lara croft physco - i like it, know what i mean?
