Look, I didn't want to be a theatre kid.

Most of the time, it gets you killed or kidnapped in scary, painful ways. I envy those who think we have it easy. If you're one of them, go ahead, keep showing up to our performances unaware. But if you sense something stirring, when you watch a show, then your most likely one of us.

Then the directors will find you.

I'm not kidding, it takes work being a theatre kid and it's scary. Some of the girls who get ensemble every year are scary competitive. Like, I was talking to this semi-nice, kind of creepy girl during rehearsal about what musical we're doing next year.

Me: Addams Family! Our director never does Disney twice in a row, plus it has great music and is prefect for school. He even hinted that we would do something kinda dark like Dracula or Frankenstein.

Girl: Oh that's so cool! I'd love to play Wednesday!

Me: Me too. *sighs*

I swear she got the most angry facial expression ever.

Girl: You need LONG hair to braid to be Wednesday. *yanks my hair*

Me: Oy! I'm growing it out!

Yeah, it's... Interesting being in theatre.
