A middle school or high school student that is actively involved in the theatre department at their school. They usually don't have a set "dress code" but dress however they like and usually don't get teased about it by others outside or inside the department because of their down to earth, intelligent, hardworking persona! They usually have extended vocabularies, can resite a shakespearian salilique on command, always have their keys attached to a key chain on their belt loops! They also prefer to hang out in the theatre/ drama room at snack, lunch and after school (because of rehersal!) Usually know such words as "stage right/ left", "up/ down stage" , "apron", "sililique", "thespian", " blocking", "upstaging", "warm-ups", "safety pins"!!! They have seen many, many, many, musicals and plays...for fun! Go to drama festivals to compete in various catigories such as "classical scenes" "comedic classic scenes"...etc! Usually spend their times on the bus on the way to the festivals having group sing a longs to various broadway soundtracks ( all in perfect harmony)!!has been to at least ten or more plays/ musicals! Actually knows who Patti LuPone, Robert Gule, Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightmen, Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp, Idina Menzel, Kristen Chenowith, John Lloyd Young are...etc! Have tons of shirts from past shows they've been in and proffessional ones they've seen as well! Have they're own make-up kits full of stage make-up. They know who Ben Nye is and love him for every thing he has created! Own some type of character/ dance/ dress shoes for shows! They get super excited to read Shakespeare in class and when reading it act it out perfectly and get angry with the other kids that can't act it out but would also rather see it performed! Would like to get an actors equity card one day and (if not already living there) would like to move into a New York City, East Village, Studio apartment like Mark and Roger from the hit braodway musical Rent! Is usually apart of The International Thespian Society!
