Stage Names Defined:

People may take a stage name because their real name is considered unattractive, dull, amusing for the wrong reasons, or projects the wrong image; or because they wish to remain anonymous in relation to another sphere of work. In past decades stage names were used because certain actors' real names were considered too "ethnic.”

Homework:

Find one real name (actor, singer, athlete) that can stump the class. See if you can find out WHY the person changed their name. You must hand in the real and stage names tomorrow. Good luck and have fun!
