YOU KNOW YOU ARE A THESPIAN WHEN-

-. More then half of your wardrobe consists of scarfs that you wear year-round, and fadora’s.

-. You hear the word “Macbeth” and you shrivel down into fetal position and then do the “counter-curse”

-. You have to have your stomach pumped because you’ve been living off of Top Roman for so long.

-. You can name every single Gershwin/Neil Simon/ Arthur Miller/ Rogers and Hammersteins/ and Sondheim… play/musical every created.

- When you see a fellow thespian at your school you ALWAYS have an inside joke about a show you are doing…or have done and you ALWAYS repeat it with them.

- When the entire cast drops dead with exhaustion when the closing night curtain call is over.

- When you continually say… and all that jazz.

- When everytime you walk into a library the song, “Madamme libraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarian….” pops into your head and you feel ( or do) like dancing around the library.

- You warm up your lips by kissing whoever is next to you backstage.

- When you hear “Heads Up.” you yell thank you and look for the backdrop or scrim that is coming down.

- You become better at stage makeup then actual everyday makeup.

- You can do a perfect immitation of the great and fabulous Ethel Merman

- You wince at daylight.

- You are able to run for food inbetween scenes and do so in record timing.

- Every pair of nylons you have are ripped.

- You use big gestures when speaking to someone.

- You have had an actual Meat-Pie.

- You worship Bernadette Peters

- You know who Bert Williams is.

- You have watched the pbs Broadway special that was 4 hours long… and either taped it or went out and bought it.

~ When you hear your history teacher lecture on the country of BOHEMIA. you instantly start singing La Vi Boheme from RENT.

~ You hear the word TRADITION and you start singing the song and saying Mozel tov to everyone you see.

~ You can’t remember what the original color was on your paint clothes.

~ More then half of your paycheck goes to production fee’s.

~ You begin to read a book for English and you start to do character analysis’ on each character in the book.

~ You listen to a soundtrack and choreograph..and block the entire play in your head.

~ You look at random people and cast them as a part in a play in your mind.

~ You say “Break a Leg” to a person “auditioning” for a part in a sports team.

~ When you are hungry in class you begin to eat pantomime food on your desk.
