Writer's Block (2014), pages 3, 8, 14:
Milo: "Don't you mean Mac-"
Professor: "Don't! As long as we use this room to perform we do not use the name of that play."
Robert: "Why?"
Prof.: "Bad things have happend at the hands of that play. There is a curse... The story goes that Shakespeare stole actual curse from a witches coven when writing the play..."
Milo: "Macbeth." [more]
Note: A recurring gag revolves around theatrical avoidance of saying the name of the play "Macbeth." When the characters say the word, terrible things happen. This includes (possibly) the Professor's death.
