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.

One of my angel underlings peed her pants on stage......totally upstaging me of course.
I was the Angel Gabriel and during one of my monologues, this one little annoying angel kept saying her line - over and over - before she was meant to. "Shall I go and fetch the children?". I kept saying "shhh" and continuing my anglelike performance, only to be interrupted again, each time in a more desperate manner.
Finally she gave up and pissed her pants. At which point the whole show had to come to a standstill while the teachers came and removed the sobbing yellowish angel and cleaned up the stage while I sat fuming.
