If you’re an actor, you\u00a0know.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0When they slay a high note<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You know the feeling. You just belted the show-stopping note, and when you walk offstage you feel like you can do ANYTHING.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

2.\u00a0When they think their costume might\u2019ve ripped<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Terrifying. That\u2019s all that needs to be said.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

3.\u00a0When they forget a line<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Another terrifying feeling for an actor. Forgetting a line is an earth-shattering event every actor knows, and nobody wants to experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

4.\u00a0When they think the director is watching<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You look out into the audience, and you lock eyes with them. The director. Did they just see that stumble? Do they like the choice you made? Who knows, but they are always watching!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

5.\u00a0When they hear an audience member laugh at a joke they say<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

They may be someone you\u2019ve never met, but the joke you made and the laugh they had connected you. You feel like the coolest person on stage!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

6.\u00a0Before they make their entrance<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

It\u2019s something that makes every actor a little nervous: Making their first entrance. It\u2019s exciting, nerve-wracking, and scary (in a good way)!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

7.\u00a0When they\u2019re running late during their quick change<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

YOU HAVE 30 MORE SECONDS GO GO GO!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

8.\u00a0When they take their bow<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

It\u2019s happy and everyone is feeling great, but you can\u2019t deny it. You\u2019re tired. You just danced your butt off, and the show is over. It\u2019s time to SLEEP.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

9.\u00a0When they see their family in the audience<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Say hi! They\u2019re the ones taking pictures and pointing at you!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

10.\u00a0When the show closes<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

It\u2019s a confusing time. You\u2019re tired so you like the rest, but you\u2019re sad because the show is over. Either way, it\u2019s time to get cracking on the next one!<\/span><\/p>\n
