Hi Camo. I also work in Theatre also as an SM, so I have appreciated your comments!

You wouldn’t be talking about Rob Guest would you? I have loved him since I saw him as Jean Valjean, I was fortunate to see him play the Phantom many times, and see him in Wicked before he passed. I believe he would be having fun messing with you techies now!

Hi, I was the writer, so thanks for your kudos! I work as a stage manager on touring theatre productions, and so I have been through a lot of theatres and heard a lot of superstitions. The ones that tend to believe all of these superstitions are the older crew/actors, but in my experience Peacock feathers, Whistling, ‘Good Luck’ and the M-word are the ones that contemporary theatres and younger performers/crew still adhere to. Theatre ghosts also commonly believed (usually depending of the age of the theatre) and a Ghost Light is just good practice.
