If you have friends who are involved with the Theatre and Dance department at Ohio Wesleyan University, you know they have long hours, are often working several shows at the same time, and barely get any sleep.
We try to eat, but more often than not our classmates end up snacking rather than having an actual meal, or just live off coffee and pure will.
So here's a list of ingestible items that fuel the Theatre Majors at OWU.
1. Coffee.
I don't feel like I need to explain this one.
2. Monster.
I guarantee at least one person in the Department is drinking one at this very moment.
3. Bagels from the Hamwill Bakery at 4:25pm.
Because we might not get to eat till a lot later in the day and damn, those bagels are nice.
4. Anything Publicity Crew brings in.
You know, for receptions and strike?
5. Pizza at the lunch hour.
Between production meetings and major/minor meetings, a lot of our lunch hours are in the Theatre, so the Hamwil lines are unacceptable.
6. Alternatively, sushi at the lunch hour (pizza was the day before).
Some savages even go in with a fork.
7. J Gumbo's on Fridays.
You know, because Hamwil is closed.
8. Props food during shows.
It was mashed potatoes during An Enemy of the People, week-old cake during Red Hot and Cole, amongst others.
9. Hot Pockets (looking at you, Ares).
He makes them during morning classes. I laugh every time.
10. Tea.
For our voices, you know?
11. The tears you shed over the script/light plot/ground plan/props list/cast list.
Most are tears of frustration.
