20 Things Only Theater Kids Will Get

Being involved in theater since I was little has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Theater has made me into who I am as a person. Beautiful friendships of mine have been made through theater. Theater has given me so many opportunities as well. Throughout my life in theater, I have realized how in love I am with the craft. Here are some things that only theater kids who are obsessed with theater can relate to...

1.Your wardrobe consists mostly of Broadway apparel and show t-shirts.

I have gotten a Broadway t-shirt from basically every show I have seen, whether it be a national tour or Broadway show in New York City. It's almost like a tradition of mine to buy a t-shirt. So with the amount of show t-shirts I have plus all of the Broadway apparel I have, you can say I own quite a lot of t-shirts.

2.Your collection of playbills is insanely huge.

I have kept every single playbill from every single show I've seen...so yeah, I have a crap ton of playbills!

3.You know an impressive amount of historical facts thanks to musicals.

Thank You Lin Manuel Miranda for teaching me all about Alexander Hamilton, and U.S. History

4.You watch old show DVD’s like this..

5.Heck, you sometimes watch Broadway shows like that.

6.You have seen or been in your favorite show at least ONE THOUSAND TIMES

Yes, watching it on YouTube counts.

7.Your Facebook profile pic has been you with an actor/actress at a stage door.

8.Ellen’s Stardust Diner in New York City brings you so much joy.

I've only been there once, but man...what a beautiful experience

9.When you see Broadway merchandise, you just can’t help yourself.

I'm a sucker for everything that says NYC, or Broadway on it

10.When your director schedules a last minute tech rehearsal..

11.Post show depression is THE WORST feeling ever!!

12.When your teacher gives you homework due during tech week

13.Cast parties are the best kinds of parties.

14.That feeling of “pre-cast list posting anxiety”

15.You listen to musical cast soundtracks on a daily basis

The only music I listen to is cast soundtracks tbh...

16.Backstage drama

17.When your cast is basically an oversized, dysfunctional family

18.Running the curtain call over, and over, and over again

During one of the shows I was in, in high school, I'm pretty positive we ran curtain call at least 26 times. Insane, I know.

19.When you still know the choreography from past shows you have been in

20.No matter how stressful theater can get, it is the best decision you have ever made.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
