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.

Wrong SongSo it was compulsory to do a music class in our school early on.
This year though happened to be the bi-annual school review. Our class was nominated to perform in a choir.
Weeks of practice was done, and all was fine till the moment of truth.
My mates and I decided to sing the order of songs backwards - while all others would sing the correct order.
Queue the choir stuffing up 5 songs. Everybody thinking that they were singing the incorrect song and changing mid way thru.
The crowd were confused to say the least. What will never leave me tho is the scowling face of my teacher waving the baton staring directly into my soul.
Queue many afternoon detentions copying word for word each song - IN ORDER. (worth it tho)
