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 joined an amateur dramatics society to meet girls.And I did. I went out with one for a few months but then she did my head in so I dumped her and never saw her again (I never went back).
Still, at least I did one play. It was rubbish though - a stupid farce, that was probably quite racist, especially if you were the Chinese man in the audience that Saturday night.
I'd like to do a proper play one day. Who knows, I might try it one day.
