theatre withdrawal

Share definition
That awful empty sinking feeling inside when a play you were in is over and you know it'll be really hard to see anyone from the cast outside of the show. Also applies when it's the last show of the year and the seniors are graduating soon.

Common symptoms also include desire to cry, denial, and musical numbers or lines popping into your head at random times.

Common treatments include indulging in junk food and seeking the next opportunity to be in a play so you can set yourself up for more withdrawal later.
*cries* I just got back from the Rent cast party, and now I'm going through such awful theatre withdrawal! Where's the chocolate and the latest issue of Variety?

theatre nerd

Share definition
A theatre nerd is a person who is highly invested in musicals, sometimes to the extent that it’s an addiction. Theatre nerds are usually in all of the drama-related clubs at their school.
You may be a theatre nerd if you have any of the following symptoms:
• You sing showtunes Non-Stop
• You understood the reference above
• Tap dancing is not an uncommon occurrence for you
• You have overdramatic reactions to everything
• You will change in front of anyone
Alexander Hamilton was not just a Founding Father to you
• Anything anyone says can trigger a song getting stuck in your head
• You unconsciously switch accents while talking

Theatre nerds are part of a a big, cozy community of people who are probably a bit too affectionate with each other at times, quote Shakespeare regularly, are very, VERY loud, and sometimes act like a cult.
Example 1
Kid 1: Look at those kids over there singing. What the heck are they doing?
Kid 2: Oh, those are just the theatre nerds. Don’t mind them.

Example 2
Kid 1: Omg have you heard the OBC recording of Be More Chill?
Kid 2: Yes, it’s so great! I need to see that!
Kid 1: Ahhh bring me with you!
Kid 2: I totally will! Wow we are huge theatre nerds.

theatre organ

Share definition
The theatre organ is an instrument which works in the same way as a pipe organ, the difference being that the pipes in a theatre organ are made to sound like instruments in an orchestra.
The organ is played from a "horseshoe" shaped console.

These organs were developed between around 1910 till around 1920`s. They were installed in movie palaces to provide music at a cheaper cost than the orchestra.
There sound is very effective.
