Theater Newbie 

Sort of like a new player, a theater newbie is a theater kid who is new, they often don't know a lot about theater, and think that they are better than everyone else. They often are convinced that they will get the lead roll, but are often in the Ensemble or not in the show at all. They also tend to TOUCH PROPS THAT AREN'T THIER'S
Have You Heard Of Josh?

Theater Kid 

A derogatory colloquial term to describe a person whose education and areas of expertise are based solely in the humanities, yet somehow ends up in a position of power and/or authority that requires a much more concrete skill set. Tends to use obfuscation and snark whenever pressed to demonstrate actual competence in their job, and usually responds to dismissal by posting video of themselves crying to social media. Invariably first to go in the private sector when workforce reductions hit, but can often thrive and even enjoy lifetime reelections to public office.
"Did you see that clip of the deputy mayor cursing out people and throwing her microphone at the town hall? This is why you don't vote for theater kids, people."

Theater Kid 

Due to most definitions being incoherent here I’ll make a general one for those who want a proper definition.
A theater kid generally is associated with anyone who does theater whether that be backstage or front.

These individuals are generally given a few stereotypes, most commonly of which being outcasts or misfits. Elaborating further theater kids often carry or claim to carry some disorder whether that’s diagnosed by themselves or doctors. Furthermore they are generally perceived as carrying hyperactivity from some aforementioned disorder, or being so much of an introvert that you wonder how they even got in the theater to begin with (though the former is often more likely)

Hamilton is generally loved by them, and politically they are often left wing though more aligned to liberal, or if lucky anarchist leftist thought. While they may counter and argue how radical they are, almost all would probably have a heart attack at any actual revolution due to their innate romanticism. This is because Theater kids are cosmopolitans at heart 90 percent of the time, with rural theater kids often having wet dreams of finally going to the cities away from their conservative parents.

All in all while this is a generalization it is to give a broad example of what theater kids generally fall under personality wise. It isn’t the best description, but it’s better than most I’ve seen here.
We can’t go to the Gym with Noah, that dudes a theater kid.
