10 Things Every Theatre Kid Dreads<\/h3>\n \"\"<\/a><\/span>

Everyone is afraid of\u00a0something, but a theatre kid’s fears are super specific. Tech week? Don’t even get me started.<\/p>\n

Memorizing a new monologue.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You may need a monologue for every audition, but that doesn\u2019t mean you enjoy preparing them.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Looking at the cast list when it comes out.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Even if you\u2019re ON the cast list, there\u2019s nothing like that feeling of anxious dread you get <\/span>right <\/span><\/i>before you look at it.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Tap dancing.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

All those taps. All that choreography. All the pain from working out your calf muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Wearing spandex.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

If you\u2019ve never had to wear spandex, pray you\u2019ll never have to.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Breaking in your character shoes.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Ouch. Like seriously. OUCH.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Tech week.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Enough said.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Your first time on stage.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

#SoNervousIHaveToPee<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Forgetting a line.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Five seconds of silence feels like years.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Strike.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Lugging around those heavy set pieces. But also saying goodbye to your temporary second home.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Leaving your theatre troupe after graduation.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Nobody understands you like they do.<\/span><\/p>\n
