On the stage
Too 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 week
I can post, woo, hoo, does a giddy dance of joy, wonders briefly why so easily pleased?
To be honest I had a great shameful confession for last week's topic but due to not being able to post for a week I missed the opportunity, damn, was looking forward to cleansing my soul.
Can't really think of anything stage related apart from an incident involving Keith Chegwin that I'm still too traumatised to speak of, I played Toto at school, that was pretty embarassing. I wanted to be Dorothy.
