The dreaded word never to be mentioned in or around theatre: Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth. (Ooh, do you notice when a word is repeated it starts to look foriegn? Now Macbeth looks like a cross between Mac&Cheese and a crew member. Not a good combo).
We're very superstitious, us thespians. Phrases like 'good luck' and 'Macbeth' automatically doom the production.
On a side note, I will see a production of Macbeth on March 22nd at Folger Theater in Washington D.C. I'm excited!! How's that for bad luck when the actors' production shares in the very same taboo name!
But I digress. These words mean nothing. We make them into negative sayings. It's all in our heads. Just get over it, we're not in Kansas anymore. :) Wink, wink, crew.
(Oh fine, just in case, break a leg all you ladies and kiiiinigits!)

Apparently, a cure/countercurse for saying the dreaded 'M' word is to go outside [a theatre], spin around, and swear three times...
