Theater Stories

Do NOT say the name of the Scottish play in a theater! You will curse the entire play. Something bad will happen, it’s worse than saying good luck!

Never tell an actor or anyone who’s working on a play good luck! It’s an old theater curse! If you want to wish them luck then say break a leg! They’ll appreciate it!

You must always leave a light on for the ghost when you leave! Even just a little lamp when everyone else is gone will attract your theater spirits to help your show!

Don’t argue with the director or stage crew about how it’s supposed to look unless you’ve been told by the playwright or the director. You do what you’re told. Remember! Actors are easily replaceable!

If you mess with a prop, PUT IT BACK. And don’t touch a prop if it is not yours!!!

DO NOT TELL THE TECH CREW/ STAGE MANAGER THAT YOU CAN DO THEIR JOB BETTER THAN THEY CAN!!! BECAUSE YOU REALLY FUCKING CAN’T!!! (they will laugh in your face)
