That's because it's not the one of which you're thinking. A Snopes.com search with Yahoo and Aol AND e-postage yielded nothing. A Yahoo and AOL search alone...
Try about.com, Carla. In their urban legends netlore archives. Don't know if it comes up in a search - it may have been out of circulation too long. Funny how...
Well, obviously I did search about.com before my last post. A search in their generic search box yielded nothing, and another within their urban legends URL...
Mea Culpa, Carla. I've found the article you've referred to. My apologies. Yes, you are right. There is a difference to the old Yahoo and AOL email *postage*...

Do you have any kind of cyc? Do you have a place to hang one? Anyplace that rents theatrical drops should have a blue cyc - but I question the real need for...
No, I'm in Alabama. I was going to try and bluff my way through this, but I've just decided that takes far too much energy. What I know about tech could fit...

Hi Kate, The production notes usually indicate what was done in the first production. That does not mean that you have to copy their ideas. What's important...
Thanks, Bill and Arlene. So if a cyc is nothing but a backdrop, why not call it a backdrop? And if you can take a white one, and shine a blue light on it and...

Hi Annie, I never said that all notes in scripts are simply generated from production or stage manager notes. Of course the stage directions, set, lighting...

Hi Kate, I have to agree with Annie here. I too think every director, especially those in community theatres where expert designers and technicians are few...
