You work wardrobe for a professional production (say, Sound of Music) and you start singing a song from the play and the head
of wardrobe threatens to kill you.
You're the props mistress for a one-act but you know all the choreography and lyrics for all the songs. (And I mean ALL the
songs, harmony included)
You only know people by their character names.
You spend more time in the Drama building than you do at home.
People at Cici's have gotten used to seeing you walk in with your face covered with stage makeup and your friend dressed in
all black for the pit. (Abner forever!)
You know a Shakespeare quote for every situation.
Someone you know has a breakdown and you think it's good material for a play.
You've ever appeared in a show where tech week is devoted to getting the running time under four and a half hours. (Gotta
love Romeo and Juliet!!)
You've ever appeared on stage in an outfit held together with hot glue.
You have your own secret family recipe for stage blood.
Someone comes to school Halloween carrying newspapers, dressed in a green vest, khaki pants, and an old fashioned cap, and
you automatically know they're a Newsie. And you start singing the songs from the movie.
Anyone around says "I'm old" and you immediately say, "I've got arthritis. And a cold. And gingivitis."
(Justin's part in "Buffet" from the One Acts)
You go to Cici's Pizza or Golden Corral and Savannah starts belting out "Buffet" (also from the One Acts)
You say "Holy Cow" and Savannah starts singing half the song "See it Now" from the One Acts
You're in a formal British play and half the cast speaks with a Southern accent.
You know the meaning of the term "Hell Week."
You have all your lines memorized, and everyone else's.
Someone starts singing a song from a Broadway musical, and you can sing all the words with them (with or without knowing which
play it's from at first).
