Are there any myths or legends involving theater?

there is a theatre that my good friend visited were this man came in and sat to watch the performance but he was unusual wearing clothes from the second world war. she saw him a few times (at different shows) when she decided to follow him after he diapered through a wall she brought open an investigation.

it turned out the man was murdered in the theatre (blow to the head) when he went to collect his coat, when the bombing started he was left in the cloak room and was nailed up behind the 'wall' strait after the bombing nobody missed the cloak room

and investigators produced a file of the missing person believed to have died in the bombing but whose body wasn't recovered.

How about that of Divin' Ivan. He was depressed and threw himself from the catwalks and killed himself.

There's also "burn a gel"

The theater I used to work at had a ghost called Yetta. She made things fall in the props closet.... or maybe that because of unstable shelves.... eh, whatever
I heard about a ghost that haunts a theater. It was years ago when I heard of it. I think she was called the grey ghost, or maybe it was the green ghost. Something like that.

There are a couple of standard supersitions. It's considered bad luck to wish someone good luck in the theatre, which is why people say "Break a Leg" instead. It's considered bad luck to mention the play MacBeth by name, and it's usually called The "Scottish" play as a consequence.
.Phantom of the opera

x x x
Dont play superman, phantom of the opera is a lil haunted apparently, macbeth is bad luck, and always say 'break a leg' when your friend is going onstage, as this is good luck! crazy.
If you want a friends acting to go well on opening night tell them to "break a leg"; never say "good luck" as that is regarded as bringing bad luck.
Macbeth is meant to be cursed. On stage/set its always referred to as the scottish play.

Thats about all I know.
Apparently, it's bad luck to say "Macbeth" on stage because it brings bad luck. Instead, when not doing a production of the play, you're supposed to call it "The Scottish Play".

It comes from the idea that early productions of the play had all kinds of problems like the Set falling apart, people getting injured, random attacks by the occasional T-Rex (I made that last bit up, lol).

Basically, the same accidents that you'd find with other performances tended to happen more often and worse with "Macbeth". I don't buy into this Myth and enjoy winding people up by shouting "Macbeth" in a Theatre :-)
Yes the one about not being able to say the name Macbeth..
yes, the phantom of the opera
Don't whistle in a theater. The rigging system that makes things fly in and out on stage is designed after sails and was run by sailors, who used whistles to communicate with each other. If you whistle you will send a message to an sailor ghost and something will fly in and perhaps injure you.

Every theater has a ghost.

Don't say Macbeth in the theater it will bring bad luck.

Say break a leg before someone goes on stage. If you lock you legs you can pass out.
Look up "The Scottish Play" (Macbeth) - there are a lot of legends and superstitions amongst actors regarding that play.
Never say MacBeth. Always say the Scottish play.
