ORIGINAL AIRDATE: February 6th, 1989 --- Penny scores the lead in a musical; someone wants her to break a leg MISSION: MacGyver shows up to cheer on Penny in her musical debut, but when a string of accidents befall the cast, the hunt begins for the mastermind behind the scenes.

Acrostic (Poetry) An acrostic is a poem (or other form of writing) in which the first letter (or syllable, or word) of each line (or paragraph, or other recurring feature in the text) spells out a word or a message. The word comes from the French acrostiche from post-classical Latin acrostichis, from Koine Greek ἀκροστιχίς, from Ancient Greek ἄκρος "highest, topmost" and στίχος "verse"). As a form of constrained writing, an acrostic can be used as a mnemonic device to aid memory retrieval. Check out the article on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrostic.
