Thetes

The fourth and lowest rung of the social structure of Athens during the Archaic through the Hellenistic and even Roman periods of Greek society.
The Thetes were given their much deserved rights under the Strategos Ephialtes as one of his many reforms in Athens after the exile of Cimon.

Theatre Geek

1) A proud few who dwell in the bowels of their high school auditorium and survive off of stale bagels and way too many tacos from Jack in the Box.

2) People who realize the correct spelling of the word "theatre when referring to the Theatrical arts.
1) Did you see Josh? He is a total Theatre Geek! He can't hang out with us because he is always at rehearsal!

2) After Elle cussed out the newspaper editor for misspelling "theatre" everyone believes her when she says she is a Theatre Geek!

Theatre Kid

A theatre kid is much like a "drama kid", the only difference being that theatre kids are the EXTREME version of a "drama kid". They are the kids who can never watch a movie/play/tv show without picking out EXACTLY which role they would play, along with all the roles their friends would play as well. They are the ones that get PISSED when "theatre" is spelled "theater". You will usually find a Theatre Kid in their schools drama/choir rooms at school, with their fellow theatre friends. (it's a VERY tight pack they run in, only to be challenged by the coveted "Band Kid" group) working on audition monologues or competition pieces. There are 3 versions of a Theatre kid:

1. Musical Theatre Kid- These are the ones who have more showtunes on their ipods than regular music.They are the ones that idolize Broadway stars instead of MTV stars. They spend hours on YouTube looking up bootleg videos of their favorite Broadway Shows. These are the kids who cannot listen to a song without choreographing a number to it in their heads. They can also be found making up harmonies to various Broadway showtunes with their friends.

2. Straight Theatre Kid- There is only a VERY slight difference between the Straight Theatre Kid and the Musical Theatre Kid. The Straight Theatre Kid is much more focused on acting, where as the Musical Theatre kid thinks more of singing and dancing. A Straight Theatre kid is quite a snob about acting. They love Broadway shows just as much, but will only audition for Musicals if there is a strong acting part. No fluff roles for these kids.

3. A Mixture Of Both- a fierce breed. Let's just say, these kids are bound for fame, because if you are truely an all around Theatre Kid, your life is completely consumed with nothing but fine arts. FIERCE! :

street theater

A manufactured commotion meant to distract.
Well, officer, there was a little street theater, and when I looked down, my bag was gone.

theatre withdrawal

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?

Theater kid

The most energetic, annoying, and loud person. If you don’t know theater seems like a innocent thing but really it’s a cult. If you are a regular kid run to the exit as soon as you see a theater kid. Trust me it’s for the best. If theater kids don’t get a good part they will go into “tantrum mode”.
Please don’t get hurt by a theater kid ._.

theater junkie

If you think a theater kid is the most extreme breed of the "theater person species", you have not met a theater junkie.
A theater junkie is a person literally addicted to theater. If they are not in a play of some sort that moment, they don't feel exactly normal. They usually spend about an hour a day memorizing lines and the rest of it preparing for that night's rehearsal.
They give up things they want to do for the sake of rehearsal. They never miss one, no matter what happens. Even if they're sick, they go but are sent home because the director doesn't want the rest of the cast to catch it.
On their iPod or MP3 Player, you will most likely find a vast majority of showtunes on it. They tend to break into song randomly when they are reminded of a show.
They usually plan on going to college with a major in Theater, or go to an art's school for Theater. After that pursue a career, becoming a starving artist and loving every minuet of it.
"So are you going to the dance tonight?"
"I can't I have rehearsal."
Or
"I have to work on my script tonight, sorry."
"You really are a Theater Junkie, you know?"
"Yeah, I know. Haha."

"You know what!? They all deserve to die!"
