My stage fright would come on gradually the day of the performance (especially opening night). It would climax at about two minutes to curtain (or my entrance on stage), then it would disappear. It was like a switch was being thrown.
Before the switch I would be sure I couldn't remember a single line of diaglogue. Then it was all clarity.
Oddly, when I did radio I rarely had this happen despite having a much larger audience.
