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.

the constipated exploding melonno this is not the name of the production im in the orchestra for. its actually the only way the trumpets and us (the trombones) can accurately describe the look on the piano players face while he is playing his part. his head is melon shaped and while playing his face screws up like a mong and he looks like he is trying to push a particularly large shit out of his eyes. of course we have now taken to shouting out "melon!" at random times to great laughs.
apologies for the astronomical size of my balls.......
