Theater kids. How do you describe them? They are magical. They are like wonderfully talented unicorns. Exceptionally rare. We all know one, even if we wish we didn't. If you are one, you are lucky. We are a special breed. Here are some ways you might know that you are a true thespian.

1. Black Is Your Favorite Color

Should I be dressy with a deep onyx or should I stay casual with a nice subtle coal? Well, does this shade of black make me look fat?

2. Your Sense Of Direction Is Forever Corrupted

Stage directions get murky when applied to the real world. Left is right and right is left. Up is down and down is up. You dig me?

3. You Are Incredibly Superstitious

You eat two cookies before every rehearsal? Honey, you better eat two cookies before every performance as well or you are DOOMED. Also, do not make the theater ghost angry. He might make the lights go out in the middle of the show…I know from experience. Don't say the word "Macbeth" in the theater, and don't you know that it I never "good luck!" It's "break a leg"!!!!!!

4. You Have "Selective" Memorization Skills

It takes you three months to memorize four pages of lines. It takes you three minutes to memorize all of the Hamilton soundtrack.

5. You Know That Any Time Is An Appropriate Time To Break Into A Full Musical Number

We even have synchronized choreography. And honey, if someone starts even humming the Phantom Of The Opera it is OVER. "Who's got the high E???"

6. Your Nights Are Booked With Rehearsal

"Hey, you wanna hang out with me?

"I think I can pencil you in at midnight sometime around November."

7. You Have Developed The Ability To Rock Any Costume

1920's Flapper? I look great in fringe. Civil War undergarments? Call me Scarlett O'Hara. And do not even get me started on how well I can work a 1970's wedding dress with shoulder pads. WORK.

8. Kristin Chenoweth Has A Special Place In Your Heart

4'11 feet of pure awesomeness. How do you not adore her?!

These are just a few funny ways to identify yourself as a theater kid. You also know that you build an amazing community while doing a show and the whole cast becomes like family. You also learn to adapt to everything around you and that is an amazing skill to have in this world! If you have had the joy of participating in a show, you know all the wonderful things that happen! Theatre kids for life!
