Hey Everyone,
  I'm writing putting together a compilation of stories about funny backstage incidents & situations for a book called Behind the Fourth Wall. I have plenty myself, but I know there are thousands out there and I'm looking to the theatre & entertainment production community to contribute the wildest and funniest stories they have. Go to http://www.fourthwallbook.com to see what its all about and let me know if you are interested in contributing a story.

Just found an article about cruise ship employment scam artists...  here are the companies mentioned.  If they contact you, respond at your own risk.

Cruise Ship Job Scams
We have already reported several cruise ship job scams on this website. Because we receive dozens of emails from victims of these fraudulent schemes every month, we've decided to summarise what we've learnt so far.

Spot a Scam
Employment scams tend to have the following features:

Jobs are advertised on free websites. Scammers don't like to pay to advertise jobs that don't exist.
Scammers send emails from free email accounts such as Yahoo, Gmail, ZZN, Hotmail, etc.
All correspodence from scammers is in poor English and very unprofessional (e.g. saying "God bless you" at the end, etc.)
Be extremely careful when dealing with someone pretending to be a recruiter from Ghana or Malaysia. There are known scam schemes operating from these countries. They change thier names on weekly basis.
Some scammers claim to have branches or headquarters in the "Western World", e.g. in the USA, Canada, or United Kingdom. However, addresses and telephone numbers they provide do not exist.
Most cruise ship job scammers don't charge admin fees. You get a job offer for free. You just need to pay for visa, lawyer fees, etc. Don't pay, the job offer is fake, you'll lose your money.
Remember, sending money via MoneyGram or Western Union isn't safe. Savings of too many good people ended up in fraudsters' pockets.
Getting a job on a cruise ship is a very difficult and lengthy process. If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely isn't true!

At a summer theatre I worked in, the stage manager (a personal friend of mine) found, in with the plastic toy guns and starter pistols in a cardboard box marked "guns", a live and loaded revolver.

I once found "Sterile Water for Injection" that expired on September 1, 1977 (this was May 2009). I've seen a lot of random shit in props rooms, but that has got to be the weirdest.
