As theatre people, we all have things we do in private. Namely…<\/p>\n

1. Running your lines to inanimate objects.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

They make great scene partners\u00a0(since they can’t judge you for forgetting a line).<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

2. Counting the number of lines you have in a show.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Gotta be certain our character gets their due stage time.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

3. Giving 110% when your bestie and\/or crush is watching.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Because you gotta slay when it\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>matters.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

4. Checking yourself out in your new costume.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Because that new suit\u00a0looks FAB-U-LOUS. Right, Obama?<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

5. Casually stalking cast-mates on social media.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

It’s always nice to know\u00a0what kind of talent you’re surrounded by.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

6. Getting over-excited when you’re given a new prop.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Ain’t nobody gonna touch it…except\u00a0me.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

7. Devoting\u00a0every waking moment to fantasizing about\u00a0the show.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You know, in your heart of hearts, this show is going to be amazing. And even if you’re a little bit obsessed, it’s for a noble purpose, right?<\/p>\n
