You know you're in theatre when...

You’ve said countless times, “I can’t. I have rehearsal.”

You realize theater is your social life and you don’t have any friends outside of theater.

If you're an actor, tech people become your heroes.

You want to shoot people who think putting on a production is easy.

Stress is a way of life.

Cast parties rank right up there with birthday parties.

You never realized how much fun you had at rehearsals until you don’t have any more.

You can’t seem to memorize your lines, but you know everyone else’s lines verbatim.

You have the urge to be in character in public.

Once the production is over you don't know what to do with your time.

You complain about how ugly your costume is.

You absolutely love your costume and want to steal it from the costume room after the play is over.

You think your director is the coolest guy ever.

You think your director is an idiot.

You love going to see other productions just to compare them to yours.

You argue with your director about which play to do next.

You go see other productions and cringe when you see people that can’t act.

Homework? Never heard of it.

You could easily set up a cot and live in the theater. You’re there all the time anyway.

You dread the thought of having rehearsal, but the second you get there you don’t want to leave.

You meet someone from another theater and instantly become best friends.

You beg all of your friends to come see you in the play when you are only onstage for two minutes.

You have lost count on how many times you've died.

You don't think twice about seeing guys in make-up or tights.

You're in public and look like you're talking to yourself because you are reciting your monologue.

You are a techie and want to strangle the actors because you have their lines memorized better than they do.

You think Shakespeare was a genius but dread putting on one of his plays.

You know what Hell Week is.

If you put on a musical, you randomly sing all the songs at any time of day even if it is a musical you hate.

Sleep? What is sleep?

Techies and actors don't understand each other, but they pretend that they do.

You swear like a sailor.

There's more drama backstage than there is onstage.

Actors and techies argue about who has more work.

You're on your deathbed and miss school, but you somehow manage to go to rehearsal.

You quote lines from previous plays you've done when you have casual conversations with friends.

You suddenly realize that your entire wardrobe is black.

Theater sex. Enough said.

You know what spiking is, and it's not what you do to hair.

You've been working with the same people so long that you have blackmail to last a lifetime.

You've been injured so many times it's a miracle you're still alive.

Applause after a show is the best sound ever.

You have a sigh of relief when you are doing a comedy and you hear the audience laughing.

You know you're a theater guy when you can put on makeup better than half the girls in your school.

Modesty is long forgotten.

You pride yourself in how fast you can strip your clothes off and change costumes. (Or help people strip!)

Closing night feels like a bad break up, but the cast party is the make-up sex.

People who aren't in theater just aren't cool.

And much, much more...
