Now you must exorcise yourself or risk being squashed by a pinspot!
1- Go outside
2- Spin around 3 times
3- spit
4- Yell the worst swear word you know OR Recite a line from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' OR yell 'Angels and Ministers of Grace Defend us!'

Oh yeah they were playing that at my school and they refused to say the name at the beginning.

That play's got some bad voodoo.
But it is really funny to walk into a green room and say the name really loud.... if you're willing to except being hustled outside by a crowd of pissy actors.

okay, you wouldn't be HUSSLED out. Actors, I've found, are EXTREMELY supersticious. As a stage manager, I refuzed to say good luck OR break a leg because we mainly did musicals, and you're supost to say break a leg to an actor, but good luck to a dancer. Most of them were both. You tend to learn supersticions and follow them fast in a theatre. I refer to Macbeth as 'that scottish play' even outside of theatre because I'm used to it. XD

I'm not as supersticious as some of the other acters I know but I still say "Break a leg."
I guess is's just fun to go along with the taboos smoetimes.

Well, we have a right to be superstitious. You hear too many stories about falling lights and things to not be a little paranoid. Plus, it's fun to keep all the little traditions alive.
Correction: To actors you say "Break a leg!" To dancers you say "Merde!"

I've never had a dancer tell me that. They've all said to tell them good luck, but maybe it's different in new mexico.
AAAnyways, I don't believe in any of that, but I feel that if I do something that makes the actors paranoid, it's not a good thing.
p.s.- lights falling is the lighting designer's fault. He should learn what a safety chain is, the douche.

Indeed. Safety cables rock my socks off, however our theatre program is underfunded and our space is teh crap, so we have to be ready for falling anything. You know: lights, roof tiles, light trees, set pieces, bats, babies.....
