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.

Childish mis-hearing causes humourMy cousins daughter came home from school extremely excited as her teacher had told her that they were doing a nativity with "Jesus, Mary, Joseph and all the leopards and I'm going to be one of the leopards". How disappointed was she when she found out that she would have to wear a stupid tea towel and dressing gown rather than a big cat outfit.
But then, who on earth would consider putting a big cat predator in charge of a load of sheep? So we beat her and sent her to bed without supper for her stupidity*
