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.

First appearance.In a giant dragon's outfit. Candra's Dragon or something. Said my lines horribly with the mask over my eyes, turned to leave and knocked over a cardboard tree.
In a pathetic cover attempt, I said 'rarr!' and raised my arms to batter another tree down, but thought better of it and just got the hell off the stage.
There's also the time I was an extra in Das Rheingold as a 5"7 dwarf (don't ask me, they're the buggers who hired me) but there's not much to tell about that one.
