Being a theatre nerd is awesome because I have been one since I was in elementary. Almost everyday, us theatre people can breakout into show tunes such as musical theatre where ever we go! Some of these places are school, work, out with friends, in the car and etc. Sometimes I can quote a song and non-theatre nerds might not understand what we are saying but that is fine with me. If you ask a non-theatre person to name that song from a show it will take them a few minutes but people like me will be answering in about minute or less. Theatre people are the friendliest, fun and outgoing friends and are fun to be around. I enjoying being part of the theatre world because it is awesome. I have met so many people from different community theatres throughout the years from young to old. Being a theatre nerd is so much fun because you get to go see plays at community theatres or ones that are on tour that come to your city which is fun to go and see. I have seen so many shows over the years and I save the ticket stubs and the programs of the ones I have been in to the ones I have seen. It is always great to support all theatres out there!! There are many things to do when you are in the theatre world like being part behind the scenes, in front of the curtain, up in the light booth, ushering and many more. Here are some of the top things theatre people know that are true and great:
1. Theatre is a big family that cares about you that share a common interest like you.
2. When you are in theatre you can see as many shows and also get one free ticket to the season of shows that community theatre has lined up for.
3. Lights are an aspect of theatre that makes the actors look good on the stage with different aspects of colors.
4. Going to the stage door when a famous broadway show goes on tour to see if the actors come out and greet the audience members come and see their shows.
5. On a community/ high school/ college theatre level it is nice having friends and family come and see your shows that you are in because they all support in what you do in your spare time or on the side from school.
There are many more things that are part of being a theatre nerd but these are the top five that I could think of! Being part of the theatre world is awesome and I enjoy every part of it! If you ever get a chance to perform in any type of theatre you should so you can have the experience as well. I had some great directors over the years and I have taken their direction very well in the aspects of blocking and etc.
