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.

Rada twunts and TearsI once went to a drama school on Saturdays, and one summer went to the Summer School. There we were to put on a play to show to the parents who forked out a fortune in fees-but luckily only had to sit through one production a year.
This summer we did s Dracula type event-one of the dance teachers claimed to have trained at Rada-yet took all the dance moves me and my mate michelle made up while we were pissing around waiting for him to do something-he never gave us credit-just blayantly ripped off the seriously funky moves of a couple of teenagers-TWUNT.
Plus, when it came to auditions for the parts, i wanted particular part as it had a good solo in it-but they forgot to ket me audition. Did I behave in an adult way and simply remind them I was interested in the part? No. I cried and ran off-they felt so bad they wrote a part specially for me!!! With an even better solo and costume (black leather jacket, net skirt and brown curly wig mmm nice)
plus my dad never even bothered to turn up-he was in the pub.
Not very interesting I'm sure.
Length?-I'm a girl-its all in the cup size
