44 Weird Things That Every Theatre Kid Can Relate To

If you're a theatre kid, sometimes you are going to hear or say some bizarre things while rehearsing for a show. There is no avoiding it.

Here's a list of things that I've said or heard said that every theatre kid can relate to:

"One more time."

"I don't believe you."

"Just do it."

"It needs more glitter."

"There's too much glitter."

"I was trying to sing, but I started choking on glitter."

"I love it! Keep it!"

"Let's run it again."

"It's a new musical about the life of founding father, Alexander Hamilton."

"If I hear one more person singing 'Hamilton', I swear..."

"FOCUS!"

"Hey, this time I want you to stick your butt in my face. Literally, butt crack to face. It'll be hilarious."

"Stop moving your lips when you're trying to kiss her!"

"I'm about to throw my shoe at you!"

"You guys aren't going to like this."

"Is my beard on straight?"

"It needs more emotion."

"Your scream doesn't sound scared enough."

"Can you do my age lines?"

"That slap was pitiful."

"That slap was so much better!"

"Someone needs to go help the guys with their makeup."

"Run and tackle him."

"Does my hair need more baby powder, or is it gray enough?"

"We're going to flip-flop the whole set."

"Uno mas!"

"We have no sound! You're going to have to make the noises yourselves!"

"It's going to rain on stage."

"Remember that time we wanted to try and make it rain on stage?"

"If your a tree, make sure you're swaying in sync!"

"HANG UP YOU COSTUMES."

"We need action noise!"

"Make sure you're actually listening to whoever is talking."

"We aren't going to use any stage lights."

"Can you learn how to juggle?"

"Act like you just got hit in the nuts."

"Work on your accents!"

"We're just going to wing it."

"Just sling him over your shoulder. He'll be fine."

"I need more vocals when he punches you."

"Quick, quick, quick! Sit, sit, sit!"

"This scene needs more energy!"

"It's sturdy, I promise."

"That kiss was HOT!"

Yes. These are things that actually get said, many times on a regular basis and in the most serious of ways. And while we realize we sound absolutely insane, there is nothing else we would rather be doing. The show must go on, right?

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
