As a theatre kid, I refuse to apologize for \u2026<\/p>\n

Being a bit dramatic sometimes\u2026.okay all the time!<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Bursting into full-on show tune concerts without notice \u2026<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

\u2026 And adding in choreography<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Missing your party, but rehearsal comes first.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Taking over your story when you don\u2019t tell it dramatically enough.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

All the times I slip random accents into ordinary conversation.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Talking louder than most people\u2026 Projection just comes naturally.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Occasionally being a bit too flirtatious\u2026 Theatre people are just friendly.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Getting a little bit cranky during tech week.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Getting bored at sports games, talent shows, and other non-theatre events.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Always making you listen to show tunes in the car.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Excessive use of Jazz Hands.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Making you do the “Time Warp” again\u2026and again\u2026and again.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Freaking you out with my ability to cry on command.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Always being the center of attention.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Always putting my theatre fam first \u2026 but there\u2019s no other people in the world like theatre people.<\/h4>\n
