19 Things Theater People Will Understand (as described by Back to the Future gifs)

1. How much you wanna smack the person who doesn't have their lines memorized by tech week


2. That one costume you hate


3. A healthy fear of your director is good, right?


4. Music directors are some of the coolest, funniest people you'll ever meet


5. The length of rehearsals. They weren't supposed to last this long, right?


6. Tech week. What's that yellow thing in the sky? Oh yeah. That's the sun. I never see it anymore.


7. So much makeup. So, SO much makeup. On guys and gals, everyone is bound to give each other weird looks.


8. An entire cast trying to learn the music. At least YOU know what you're doing!


9. Nearly missing your cue. Never in your adult life have you been so scared.


10. Once you're in costume, who knows when or how you'll pee again


11. Dance shoes


12. Cool props


13. Drama drama. You know what I'm talking about.


14. Theater romances, onstage acting

vs. offstage for real


15. Thinking how perfect you are for a part--and then not even getting a callback. Directors, what do they know?!



16. The pressure of learning your own lines


17. Crazy set builds


18. Learning seemingly impossible dances


19. And lastly, the joy of stepping onstage the first and last shows, and every one in between.


I hope you enjoyed this post!
