The word "relict" refers to natural phenomena. "Relic" refers to human creations (and human remains), including cultural relics. The term "break a leg" is a creation of human culture, so I changed the spelling from relict to relic. Kafziel 16:14, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
What exactly needs to be cleaned up? -- Eyrian 06:45, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I've removed this...
... because it doesn't seem to be a superstition at all. Using either of these things is just a bad idea. ~ Booyabazooka 23:07, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
The flower part is hard to fathom -- have been in many productions with live flowers -- stage lights do no worse to them than little ol me in fact they probably stand up better. Shiny things (mirrors, prisms, crystals - sequins etc)that are mobile (ie on the actor or other things that move around ) are a distraction to the audience especially in scenes where you do not want to loose focus on a scene or dialogue that is going on. That is not to say that mirrors are never used -- especially in set pieces etc -- in one particular play however I remember the director fussing with a mirror that was staionary on a set because it caught some stage lighting and was a noticible distraction , I think they dulled the reflection with some weak white paint or something of that nature beleive it or not. 138.163.0.44 ( talk) 19:44, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
there is the acting superstition that puting a script under your pillow at night will help you after practicing the script so you learn it, its is sometimes refered to as "learning the script via osmosis" -- voodoom 02:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
It's not so much a superstition as desperation! 31.51.132.195 ( talk) 14:58, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
Limelight is not green. It's white. The "lime" in it merely refers to the use of lime (calcium oxide) in the lighting which can be heated to white heat without melting. I will remove that part of the article. — BassBone ( my talk · my contributions) 19:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
hey, why didn't someone put this one up? I forgot where it was taken from.. Dom Domsta333 12:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
What's this business about Santa Rosa being the home of a summer stock company called SRT? What does that have to do with this article? --J.Rai ( talk) 00:29, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Entirely agree. No idea what it's doing in this article. Bryson430 ( talk) 04:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
I find no reference online to the ghosts in the Dover Bay Theater. Could someone please cite a source if it exists?
