Everyone has heard of themm theater sterotypes. This is a thread to see which ones eother you fit or you have heard of. The once I fit as an actress are:
- I'm bi
- My sence of shame had dwindled away
- I get very loud when I want to
- I volenteer for anything I can
- Oral reports are more fun than written ones for me
- I go around singing anythig that happens to be in my head to the time... usually a musical.
Anyone else...?

I've never considered bisexuality a stereotype of anyone in theatre, but I agree that people in theatre (at least in my school) are *much* more comfortable around guys and girls. You kinda have to be when you're pretty much dressing in the same room for a week.

The way I see it, when you join the theatre, you're pretty much signing away any and all rights to modesty. My friend who's not in the theatre has to remind me to leave the room when she needs to change. I'm always saying "Oh. Yeah. Right. Modesty. Kind of forgot about that. Sorry."

I've done that soooo many times. Im always "Ok, Ive seen 30 people naked at once, you have nothing I havn't seen before!" Once I asked my director if Drama Club came with a label and he said" Yes. No modesty, no hating Show-Tunes (except for cats. He hated cats), and no feeding the actors directly before a show. Nothing worse than gas on-stage." Another one I fit is that I can project better then anyone in any of my classes.

Anyone else...? Woah. Yeah... sweatdrop (Like 5/6 apply to me man. Melelana is the stereotypical actress! Woo!) But yeah, the sense of shame dwindling... it's true. The thing about being an actor is that your job is basically just making an arse of yourself. Any good actor will abandon shame. And you forgot... the exhibitionist actor stereotype. Which I've seen true again. xd

At my old school, the dressing room was the teachers lounge. Co-ed. They had us all wearing shorts and undershirts under everything tho. My spot was always behind the copy macheine, then they moved it. I didn't care, and i was the oldest there, so i was parading around in my underware looking for my costume pants. All the little kiddies were all like "ahh!" It was fun to introduce them to theater.

Let's see
I'd rather be on stage than the audience
I'd rather give an oral report than a written
Most of my guy friends put on damn good eyeliner
I make my make up over the top
I speak louder than I really need to
A black beret is a must as a fashion accessory
I often find myself speaking in accents without meaning to
I often quote movies as answers to questions
...bonus points when I use songs.
........only songs.......
I don't mind public nudity--often I revel in it!
I can use big words and know what they mean.
I don't mind cross dressing to get a part.
Theatre is life
The Stage Manager, NOT THE DIRECTOR, is God.
Musicals are a must have of life!

I'm a girl techie so that in itself isn't all that typical. But sterotypicly (at my school anyway) the techies are always having raunchy love-fest party type things backstage. Not to say we're making out, but my (female)stage manager likes to slap my a** and we all kinda just lie all over eachother.
And my friend and I got caught "making out" in my car (which we totally weren't but we still haven't heard the end of it).
And all my theatre friends and I just burst out into song whenever wherever.

im quite the typical techie
9/10 times im dressed head to toe in black, to the extent that everyone calls me a goth(even my tutor), and im always telling them to get lost just shut up
7/10 times i have either my maglite or leatherman on me or both,
always hate it when i havent got them on me,
95% of my wardrobe is black,
i prefer dark places
i know that a cable tie has many uses-shoelaces, belts, ponytail holders...fixing trousers
i know anything can be fixed with gaff tape
my diet consists of fast food or microwaved food.
Varying my diet means eating a different flavour super noodle.
If someone asks me what time it is, i respond with something like, "Half hour 'til half hour.

Sounds EXACTALY like me. But remember, Gaff tape is expensive, so when you don't really need it, use duct tape. At my school, if someone is dressed like a cowboy or is wearing something from the Ren. Fest, they are automatically assumed to be an actor or a techie. It's kinda funky, actually

Oh, I almost forgot a few
- Purim is my favorite holiday because I get to dress up. (Yes, i'm jewish. if you dont know what Purim is, PM and ask.)
- Haloween is my second favorite because I get to dress up, but no one can see it as well, and you don't get to be as creative.
- The only makeup I own is stage makeup

Eh, as far as the bisexuality or gay things go, it doesn't really apply for us. Almost everyone in ours is straight, but that doesn't mean that we don't constantly feel each other up, kiss, and lay on top of everyone (spoonage is a must with us). We just think it's fun, and almost nessicary. It's hilarious to watch the faces of the new kids. And, as my friend Robert explained it the other day, "I have no idea why, but for some odd reason, [when talking about during a performance] the dark makes me want to feel everyone up. It just happens. No one knows why."

I am homo, hear me rawr.
I lean left in politics.
I'm insecure. We all are. The bigger the bravado, the wider the insecurity (I'm looking at YOU, Miss Patti LuPone).
I have showtunes all over my MP3 player (whose name is Charlotte).
My last analysis project for my lit class could be on anything remotely considered literature. I asked if a musical theatre play counted. It did. So I have a ten page paper on the mental disorders of the characters of "Sweeney Todd".
Many of the books I read, I'm reading because of musicals (you'd be surprised at the amount of accuracies and inaccuracies present in "Evita").
