Who was the first woman to appear on stage?
Believe it or not, it was an admirer of William Shakespeare, young girl named Violet. She sneaked into the audition for Romeo and Juliet, and got Romeo. William was in love with the girl, but she didn't tell him about her double life. (He got the message when Violet kissed him in disguise.) When the Juliet got sick, she filled in with William as Romeo. People in the audience were shocked, but the Queen allowed it. Violet had to leave William at one point, so, in remembrance, he wrote Twelfth Night under her name.
How do you make fake blood without Karo Syrup?
Mix corn syrup, red and green dye, and water ---- Or, if you want to make it safe to have on your body or in your mouth, try one of these following methods. You can make it some of these ways depending on the type of blood you need, use amounts/proportions according to eye:
Fresh or spurting blood from arteries or flowing from capillaries (like when you cut your finger) is bright red because it has its hemoglobin carrying lots of oxygen in it and that makes it more red. Make it by mixing red food coloring in white (clear) corn syrup.
Old pooled blood gets thicker and darker. Make it by mixing the red food coloring in the corn syrup and then add chocolate syrup.
Older blood that is spattered or not pooled is a little thinner than pooled and thickened blood, so make that mixture as above with the chocolate syrup and then add a little water to thin it.
Fresh flowing blood from veins has less oxygen than arterial blood and it is also carrying some wastes from the body's cells that make it darker. But, it is not blue like is often incorrectly indicated, even sometimes in school. Make it like the pooled blood with food coloring, corn syrup, chocolate syrup and then add honey. So what you'll have in your mouth is corn syrup, honey, food coloring and chocolate syrup.
To make alien blood that is green or blue, just substitute the green or blue food colorings for the red.
Why do theatres and cinemas have thick curtains hanging along the walls?

What does a Deputy Stage Manager do during a performance in the UK?
During a performance, the Deputy Stage Manager (DSM) will sit at the prompt desk (or if the venue does not have a prompt desk, will sit in the control room) and call the show using the prompt book.
Generally, the DSM will use cans and cue lights which they will use to give stand-bys to the technical operator or cast member followed by a "Go".
The majority of shows will have lighting (LX) and sound (SND) cues. Depending on the requirements and size of the show the DSM may also have to cue actors, musical directors, flying cues, follow spot cues, AV and many other things.
The DSM will stand-by a cue several lines before it is due to happen and a response should be give by the operator/cast member/etc.
On cans an example of this would be:
DSM: "Standby please LX Cue 36."
LX Operator: "LX Standing By."
DSM: "LX Cue 36 Go."
When using cue lights, the DSM will press the standby button, and a red light will appear, the LX operator would then press their button and the light would turn orange to show they have acknowledged the standby. The DSM when then say go by pressing another button, turning the light green.
The DSM will also take notes on any mistakes or differences that occur during the show along with the run times and will then produce a show report.
