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.

School talent show rock-outAt my school they used to have an end of year talent show.
Now its quite a big school the only way the entire school could get together they have to hire the sports centre down the road.
In my early teens I was in a band and we were more or less forced into entering by the music teacher who had heard us play a few Nirvana covers.
So there we were four spotty teenagers on stage in front of all our friends/peers/bullies
the music teacher introduces us as Newt (bad name I know) and says we will be playing "teen spirit" only for us to launch into "so What" by the anti-nowhere league.
We got all the way to
"so what, so what you boring little Cunt"
Before they pulled the plug on us and I gather they still dont have talent shows ten years on.
Im actually proud of that.
