Favorite Theater Superstitions and Colloquialisms?
Post Body
What is your favorite theater superstition and/or colloquialism?
Mine is:
"Don't wear green in your dressing room"
Fun fact: This is because actors used to act on green grass rather than on stages, therefore making anyone wearing green practically invisible. As well, green was considered unlucky as being the color of faeries, and therefore unfit for mortals. As well, the old-fashioned 'limelight' would make any actor wearing green difficult to see! There are many, many reasons why green is considered the theater's most unlucky color, these are just a few. Have fun all! And, many broken legs.
