I Am So In Theater. No Doubt About It.

You know you're in theater when...

*Anyone who says Macbeth has a death wish.

*You realize theater is your social life and you don’t have any friends outside of theater- i do have friends outside theater

*You think the Reduced Shakespeare Company is hilarious and understand the jokes while other people watching it are confused.

*You want to shoot people who think putting on a production is easy.

*Stress is a way of life.

*Cast parties rank right up there with birthday parties.

*You never realized how much fun you had at rehearsals until you don’t have any more.

*You can’t seem to memorize your lines, but you know everyone else’s lines verbatim.

*You have the urge to be in character in public.

*Once the production is over you don't know what to do with your time.

*You complain about how ugly your costume is.

*You absolutely love your costume and want to steal it from the costume room after the play is over.

*You think your director is the coolest guy ever.

*You think your director is an idiot.

*You love going to see other productions just to compare them to yours.

*You argue with your director about which play to do next.

*You go see other productions and cringe when you see people that can’t act.

*Homework? Never heard of it.

*You could easily set up a cot and live in the theater. You’re there all the time anyway.

*You dread the thought of having rehearsal, but the second you get there you don’t want to leave.

*You meet someone from another theater and instantly become best friends.

*You beg all of your friends to come see you in the play when you are only on stage for two minutes-they did come

*You have lost count on how many times you've died.-in the scene

*You don't think twice about seeing guys in make-up or tights.

*You're in public and look like you're talking to yourself because you are reciting your monologue.-ha ha

*You are a techie and want to strangle the actors because you have their lines memorized better than they do.

*You think Shakespeare was a genius but dread putting on one of his plays.

*You know what Hell Week is.

*If you put on a musical, you randomly sing all the songs at any time of day even if it is a musical you hate.

*Sleep? What is sleep?

*Techies and actors don't understand each other, but they pretend that they do.

*You swear like a sailor.

*You've been dubbed a "Stage Nazi" or a "Tech God."

*You've been working with the same people so long that you have blackmail to last a lifetime.

*You've been injured so many times it's a miracle you're still alive.

*Applause after a show is the best sound ever.

*You have a sigh of relief when you are doing a comedy and you hear the audience laughing.

*You can't remember what a home cooked meal tastes like, but you can remember every single way Taco Bell makes a taco or burrito.

*You know you're a theater guy when you can put on makeup better than half the girls in your school.

*Modesty is long forgotten.

*You pride yourself in how fast you can strip your clothes off and change costumes. (Or help people strip!)

*Closing night feels like a bad break up, but the cast party is the make-up sex.

*People who aren't in theater just aren't cool.- maybe??
