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.

Robin Hood, Men In TightsI was in Year 6, so I was about 11, 12ish?
Anyway, I was quite into the whole Drama/Acting thing at that point in time, so when 3 of our teachers wrote a script very loosely based on the Robin Hood Story, I signed up. As my audition piece, I recited the intro to Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds, snazzy eh?
So, the cast list appears... And I have been cast as the Sherrif of Nottingham's sidekick... The Guy of Gitbourne... fuck.
I had to wear a bright red costume, tights and silly fucking shoes.
Cunts.
