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
