theatre is real acting. it's not cute or adorable or funny if you mess up your line and it doesn't go in those adorable bloopers where you all swoon when brad pitt giggles at missing the line. real theatre is les miserables, which i love, wicked, which i'm going to see, and stuff like the phantom. chicago is awesome, and everybody's probably heard of a little person called SHAKESPEARE!!! that's real theatre. it's where capped teeth and anorexia don't get you the role.
a real song from theatre might be bluesy, jazzy, or rocky. les mis is really sad and kind of classical, and broadway is known for language and "socially unacceptable" themes.

What elitist actors say when people ask them why they are living in a box, because they are too embarased to say theater, like normal people. Also could come from the fact that they think they are too perfect for theater.
Right now I am working in theatre, and the joy I get from these thespian workings far outways my lack of worldly possesions
