OK, not having any theatrical background, this card has been a real struggle for me, so thanks to those who shared their experience! I got pretty far, but now I'm stuck again.

The first character of your 6-character 'thing' stands for something, that you should know from the rest of the 'things'.

Well, I kinda guessed that... Thanks! But I can't find it where I found the other things. And something tells me it's bigger than the other things. UGH!

I got as far as you and then googled the thing you get and managed to get the answer. I had to leave the first part of the thing off when I did the google. Make sense ?

Thanks to everyone for the hints Very Happy

man

still pretty lost on this one.

trying to go along with the beer, flags, and cocktail thing but i'm not getting anywhere. would that be a UK-specific reference? only thing I could think of is party or 4th of july but obviously that wouldn't be it, coming from someone in England, i suppose?

i don't have the card so I can't check my answer. However there's plenty on here to say what the R's stand for, after which it seems pretty plain sailing as long as you don't do what I did which was duplicate part of the first line onto the second, rendering it meaningless. When you get the 6 character thing, the r means the same, but I agree it's better just to google the other 5 characters to find the whole. I actually don't get the beer, flags and cocktail reference so I might be missing something.

It just means that this card is simmilar to those cards - cocktail, beers of the world, the naval flags one...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
simmilar in that you take the first letter of each of the decoded words... but with this one you need to do a further 'decode' to get the final answer.... and like everyone else said, just use good old google to find that final answer

I'm really stuck, i've managed to change the 20 things, but how do you get the 6 character thing from that? i'm obviously missing something here. so if some nice person could stop being cryptic and tell me what to do I would really appreciate it.

Hmmm. I think this is all unreasonably difficult. How on earth are you supposed to get the relevant trade name from stage lighting, unless you happen to be in the business?

On the final google I got nowhere with Rxxxxx and xxxxx where xxxxx is the number you get. But I got it immediately by expanding R to the word it stands for.
