Certainly about many thin'gs as these back stage Edsonian shenanigans will show. A rabbit’s foot is used for the finishing touch of powder, and the members of the cast never look at their script while off stage for a few seconds. Players don’t like members to wish them good luck and no one dares to whistle back stage. As a final pre caution each player exchanges his jewelry, hoping that luck will be with them. 11 the few seconds just before the curtain goes ud, all the cast assemble in a circle and with their hands touching one another’s, they repeat the motto of the Edsonians and pray the Lord’s Prayer.
