Theatre is one of the greatest majors; however, it comes with a price. From the constant questions to the raging cast parties, every theatre major goes through a similar tune.
1. Your wardrobe consists of show shirts and black clothing.
Staples of every theatre major, not to mention a walk down memory lane.
2. You have various dream roles, some you can never play.
It's OK, your pets will always let you be the lead.
3. Hell week consists of excessive amounts of coffee and tea, endless cough drops, and a few mental breakdowns.
Not to mention the amount of naps you take.
4. During the show your diet is whatever you can find.
It's usually Taco Bell or some candy I found in my desk.
5. You have at least one playlist dedicated to soundtracks which you perform in the shower.
[Sings "Hamilton."]
6. You're taken aback when someone wishes you "Good Luck!" before a show.
The crime of all crimes.
7. The one person who believes he/she is a god.
They're not, but they'll make sure to correct your "mistakes," give you acting tips, and claim they were "sick" during the auditions so they didn't get the part.
8. "So what's your backup plan?"
[Insert witty comeback here.]
9. When the audience doesn't laugh at your joke.
That's OK, I accept your challenge.
10. Being any part of the crew.
"If you can see the audience, then the audience can see you!"
11. The pre-show pump-up is real.
The Princess Pat...
12. Months after the show is over you still slip your lines into everyday conversation.
Or when someone accidentally says a musical reference and you can't contain yourself.
13. When the show is over it feels as if your child has grown up and gone to college.
[Sobs uncontrollably every time.]
But through all of the ups and downs, one thing remains. Family.
