SHE TOLD THIS ITEM TO ME IN A SNAPPY MANNER. BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE
MUCH TO CONTRIBUTE AND I ASKED FOR TOO MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT HER.

SUPPOSE THAT EXPLAINS HER ATTITUDE FOR NOT WANTING TO EXPLAIN THE
ITEM.

DON'T RUN LINES IN YOUR HEADJUST BEFORE GOING ON. THIS IS
BAD LUCK, BECAUSE YOU FORGET YOUR LINES FASTER.
Submitter comment:
THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS IN A PRODUCTION AT
CRANBROOK SUMMER THEATER CAMP. I HAD A MAJOR PART, AND BEFORE
MY ENTRANCE, I WAS GOING THROUGH LINES, AND WHEN I GOT ONSTAGE,
I BLACKED OUT BECAUSE I FORGOT MY LINES.

MACBETH
THERE IS A CURSE ON THIS PLAY AND I HAVE SEEN IT WORK. DURING
REHEARSALS FOR ONE PLAY, SOMEONE SAID A LINE FROM THE PLAY, AND
THE DIRECTOR STOPPED REHEARSALS AND TOLD THE GUILTY PERSON
TO GO OUT INTO THE HALL, TURN AROUND THREE TIMES, AND KNOCK
ON THE THEATER DOOR AND BE LET IN. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO LIFT
THE CURSE. ANOTHER TIME, I WAS IN ANOTHER PLAY AND THE SAME
THING HAPPENED, BUT THIS TIME, WHEN THE PERSON WAS ASKED TO
LEAVE, HE WOULDN'T GO. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE SAFETY PIN
HOLDING HIS COSTUME TOGETHER POPPED OPEN AND PIERCED HIS HAND.
Submitter comment:
DURING A PLAY I WAS IN AT MARYGROVE, I SAW THIS CURSE WORK.
THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS THAT THE LEAD STARTED TO
HYPERVENTILATE AND NEARLY PASSED OUT. THE SECOND THING WAS
THAT THINGS STARTED TO FALL DOWN BACKSTAGE WHEN NO ONE WAS NEAR
THEM. THE SECOND LEAD NEARLY SEVERED HIS THUMB WHILE CUTTING
BREAD, AND A LITTLE BOY WAS HURT WHEN A HEAVY MIRROR FELL AND
HIT HIM ON THE HEAD.

THE BEGGAR WHO WAS JESUS
LONG AGO IN ARMENIA A BEGGAR WAS SEEN GOING FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE
TRYING TO GET SOME FOOD. WITH MOST OF HIS HOPE GONE, HE CAME TO THE
HOUSE OF AN ARMENIAN PRIEST AND HIS WIFE. THE WOMAN OPENED THE DOOR
AND GAVE THE BEGGAR SOME FRESH BREAD WHICH SHE WAS BAKING AT THE
HEARTH. HE THANKED HER AND ASKED HER FOR ONE MORE FAVOR. THE FAVOR
WAS THAT HE COULD GIVE HER A KISS. SHE OBLIGED. THE BEGGAR WAS
THOUGHT TO BE JESUS. WHEN HER HUSBAND CAME HOME SHE TOLD HIM WHAT
HAPPENED. HE ANSWERED HER, "FOR GOD'S SAKE, WOULD YOU JUMP IN THE
FIRE? SHE ANSWERED YES AND THREW HERSELF INTO THE HEARTH. WITHOUT
HER HE FELT THERE WAS NO REASON TO LIVE AND SO HE THREW HIMSELF INTO
THE FIRE. IT IS SAID AT THIS SPOT A SHRINE HAS BEEN ERECTED AND A
SPRING FLOWS WHICH HEALS THE SICK."
