Theater Kid - Blog Posts

Yeah sambas look cute and are popular but every time I put mine on I’m overtaken by the insatiable urge to do the box step and sing a show tune

Newsie.

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

go!

My LEAST FAVORITE type of question as a theatre kid is the ones that are obviously just meant to prove that others are doing something wrong.

"So do we put our hands like this or like this?" "This is the right way." "Okay, I thought so but I saw SOME PEOPLE doing it the other way and I was pretty sure that wasn't right"

I don't mean when it's like a clarifying thing that nobody is sure about and has never been specified before and everyone is doing something different or something you yourself are struggling with or unsure about.

But when it's entirely obvious that just a few people made a mistake and did the wrong thing and they seem to know it was wrong and will fix it next time... just why?

It pisses me off so much especially now after I've done performing stuff for a while because I remember the intense shame I would feel when a castmate would openly be criticizing a mistake that only I made, in the form of asking a question. I almost quit choir freshman year because the person who sat next to me did that so often and was so judgemental that I felt like I wasn't welcome at my current skill level (the same skill level that a lot of the choir was at).

Honestly, I'm a strong believer of letting the director/instructor point out mistakes and fix them, or asking for help with mistakes you made or things that you are unsure about. Be kind to people with less experience or there might be nobody left to continue once you graduate.

Having a migraine during a tech rehearsal is legitimately the worst thing ever.

Backstage is busy and chaotic, then you go onstage and the lights are so blinding it feel like you're getting stabbed in the head with a dagger.

Tired but the migraine meds my castmate shared with me earlier had caffeine so I'm still awake. At least the migraine isn't as bad anymore. Better to be awake from caffeine than awake from pain.

The oddity of a theatre kid's notebook while she is trying to memorize lines on a time crunch

I put together an audience to watch me practicing my audition song for the school musical. They're very kind and non-judgemental. Except the one standing next to the computer. He bit me.

Waiting for the school theatre director to announce the spring musical is killing me... apparently she said it would be announced in 'a couple hours', but that was 4 hours ago.

Me: Oh my god I love being in theatre I love going to rehearsals and being in the cast community.

My non-theatre kid friend: Are you sure? You just complained for a solid 8 minutes about how you are dreading doing this show, hate that you have rehearsal tonight, and can't stand all the cast drama.

Me: It's tech week.

THE DEH SCRIPT BOOK IS SOLID GOLD

I may or may not have wanted this book for this line specifically

Best thing about being transgender and also a theater kid is being able to sing both parts in a duet

During tech week the guy who was play hans randomly quit, so things were moved and I wasn’t in snow chorus anymore… the girl who hated me for leaving just started randomly flirting with me…. AND SHE DIDN’T KNOW MICS WERE HOT

i’m actually dead we’re in the middle of tech rehearsal running a serious scene, but some kid backstage didn’t know we started so he started belting santa fe😭💀

theatre kid culture at its finest.

Never mind! I love rehearsal

I should not feel this looming dread at the thought of going to rehearsals

I’d rather be dragged to hell than go to rehearsals

Audition for Hades Town today!! So nervous😣😣 auditioning as Peresphone
