Tuesday Twitter Trivia – Whistling on Stage
I hope that everyone had a lovely holiday thus far. It was totally relaxing for myself! As for presents… Let’s just say I was a good boy this year! More about the presents later and on to this weeks Tuesday Twitter Trivia. I am going Old School here and have a great question about theatre history and not just specifically lighting related. So, this weeks question is:
Why are we not allowed to whistle while on stage?
Know why? As with almost every Tuesday Twitter Trivia Question, Direct Message me @isquint through twitter. First one in with a brief explanation, wins! Remember, you only have 140 character to explain! Good Luck everyone!
