Whether it be in the way a person acts, talks or thinks, there are definite signs that show somebody grew up with some sort of club or hobby. In my case, I grew up with a love for theater. I've been in theater productions for around half of my life, and I've met many people who share my passion. Naturally, this means I have a pretty good idea about who was in a company or enjoyed watching theater when they were younger.
I know these traits aren't shared by everyone, but at the very least, a good chunk of these signs give a pretty clear indication.
1. You knew who Lin-Manuel Miranda was before "Hamilton" was cool.
2. You know every lyric to every song in at least three Disney movies.
3. You have an odd fascination with 1950s America.
4. Jazz hands are almost second nature to you.
5. You know who Audra McDonald, Megan Hilty and Jonathan Groff are.
6. You've never seen any production of The Music Man, but you know the alto part of "Ya Got Trouble" by heart.
7. When you watch the movie "Grease", you count out "1-2-3-4" in your head, remembering the dance moves you had to do during "Greased Lightning".

8. You actually give a shit about the Tonys.
9. You call your loafers your "character shoes".
10. You still nerdily obsess over the newest Jeremy Jordan play with your old friends.
Of course, this may not apply to all theater kids, but I'm sure a good majority understand where I'm coming from.
