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.

Mixed up linesMy friend always gets his words mixed up on stage - for example, he once said 'Lilting willies' instead of 'wilting lilies'.
During 'Romeo & Juliet', instead of 'no such sight to be shown', he said 'I'll go along, no such shite to be shown'.
Pity it wasn't a comedy really.
