10 Things You Know To Be True If Your Best Friend Is An Actor

The words "the cast list is up" are enough to make your stomach drop.

If your best friend is an actor, you'll instantly recognize these 10 facts and scenarios.

1. At least half of their car karaoke songs are straight from a broadway soundtrack.

You might pester them about it, but to be honest you love these songs too!

2. Casual improv games are the best way to fill up your free time.

"Yes, and..." is and always will be your motto, in improv and in life.

3. You're both on your toes during auditions and callback week.

Even if you aren't the one auditioning, you won't be able to relax until the cast list goes up.

4. There isn't much you wouldn't miss to see their show opening night.

I even spent my 18th birthday watching my best friend perform in a musical when it happened to fall on opening night.

5. You love hearing gossip about what goes on backstage.

You know everyone's inside jokes and who likes who even if you haven't stepped foot backstage.

6. You know all about their cast's pre-show rituals.

These can get weird, but it's not like theatre is a cult, right?

7. You rehearse lines together as often as other friends get coffee together.

And there's nothing wrong with a little positive criticism.

8. You understand that getting cut from a show low-key feels like they're being dumped by their director.

But that probably won't stop them from dragging you to the show anyway.

9. With every cast list comes your "better" recasted version.

"You deserved that role way more than she did!"

10. Whether they're cast into the ensemble or as the lead, they'll always be good enough for broadway in your eyes.

They should never stop doing what they love.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
