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.

I thought I was utterly Z list but..........a week of dreadful reminiscences say otherwise. I was in Tom Finn or Huckleberry Sawyer or whatever when I was about 10 playing the defence barrister in the trial of Muff Potter. If it was filmed I would be just above key grip's assistant or 3rd location gaffer or somesuch in the credits. That unforgettable. However I have been trumped good and proper by most of you in the shitness of role stakes. Best not bother mentioning it then, methinks.
