I
definitely consider myself a theatre nerd.
As a theatre nerd, there a probably many things I do regularly that most
people do not. I decided to write them
down in the hope that maybe I am not the only theatre nerd that does these
things, and maybe we can all come together in our weirdness and be open about
it.
1. I
watch the same movies over and over again
2. While
I watch a movie, I pretend I am playing a certain character and act along with
them
3. I
cast shows in my head for fun
4. I’ll
dress myself up in costumes for no reason
5. I
make fake playbills
6. I’ll
sing along to an entire soundtrack pretending to be a specific character
7. I
have to bring theatre into everything, i.e: school projects and conversations
8. I
sing songs completely out of my range on purpose
9. I
read audition announcements for fun
10. I
can recite shows in their entirety
Ok, so you did that on Monday, what about the rest of the week?
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm playing a character, especially one I really like, I pretty much pretend to be that character on a 24/7 basis. Even when people aren't aware I'm doing it. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post! It gave me a smile just when I needed it (curse these finals).
