You know the acting is good when you almost get mad at the actress bc they're so good at playing mean (I love your content but you do these characters so well)
@@eliseclarecausey best part was, she was talking it up at the entire time and on the first day of rehearsal, she kept talking up how she was the lead, knowing full well that she was just in the ensemble. The director called her out on it
Fun fact: sometimes they make juniors and seniors the priority and give them bigger roles (depending on how much time they have spent with the theater program at the school, how much experience they have, and how good their audition was) because they are closer to graduating and it’s “their time to shine”. But it’s not like it’s impossible for freshmen or sophomores to get leads and big roles ❤️
No- oh my gosh this is so true- I’m a freshman in high school and there’s this sophomore who always gets big roles and treats me like a baby- like GIRL we were born three months apart. Yesterday she actually thought I was in 6th grade. 🙄
Bro if it makes you feel better, I couldn't do theatre for two of my highschool years, but when I changed schools I did it again as a senior and learned a lot and felt closer to my underclassmen than when I was a freshman in my previous school. Sometimes seniors get preferred parts because they've worked with the teacher longer and have shown trustworthiness, but at the same time, I've known freshmen that have blown me away with their ability! Stay humble and kind in theatre (avoid gossip for the love of God) and be the team player you wish your upperclassmen could be, and be brave to explore your characters and stories - having fun and learning as much as possible is valuable in the highschool theatre
Those where the seniors I had but for guard…. I got the “lead” aka a solo and they were so mad. Especially cause there’s not an “audition” for a solo the director just gave it to me. 🙃
When I joined my first professional acting company I was so worried that the older teens would treat me like that, in reality, they all are really nice people and at cheerleading competitions I get to see one of my friends on the opposite team tho.
I remember being in high school as a freshman, and they were doing godspell. I auditioned for one of the "disciples." I think it was Peggy or Sonia. I remember getting this exact talk from several seniors. I ended up being they only freshman to get a leading role as Robin. She had a better solo for me anyway. I always felt looked down on by my senior cast members... o well!
Ok pause so this is great but the seniors at my high school are so nice I love them! They’re super nice to all the younger grades and the 8th graders too!
Freshman don't get leads in highschool it's just not how they operate they give the leads to seniors cause it's their "last shot" and because they've known them longer and theater is super super biased
OMG i literally had something like this happen to me i was in eighth grade and i auditioned for the school play Singin in the Rain. the day after callbacks i was talking to my friend about how excited i was for the cast list to come out, and this ninth grader butted in and said “yeah but don’t get your hopes up. you probably won’t get anything good” i then proceeded to get the role of Kathy Selden, and was on stage the whole time :)
Oh good Lord, this was high school theatre in a nutshell. The director told me I had to suppress my confidence because I hadn't "paid my dues." I was like... I'm 15 and I just want to sing, please
I’ve been a thespian for years and everyone was dying when one of my fellow freshmen costars actually got the lead for Wednesday in the Addams Family Musical our freshman years 💀
Ngl tho, as someone in theater, I am not fond of when freshmen come into auditions expecting the lead. I don’t think they can’t get the lead, but the truth is, there is some grunt work that does need to be gotten through before you can expect a lead role.
In my highschool there was a girl that got every lead part starting first year. It got old fast and most of the school had no desire to go to the plays anymore because it was always all about her. She also got all of the solos in choir.
this happened to my aunt at every new school she and my mom went to. She was either new or youngest of the theatre ppl and she always got the roles bc she's a phenomenal singer/dancer/actress and had bricks thrown at her while biking home for getting the leads every time 😅
Oof you did so well it made me mad lol. I remember this competitiveness from seniors in high school choir when I was a sophomore. Joke was on them, though, I had been training in opera for three years and theatre before that… I was the only one who could hit the high notes reliably so I got the “senior” solos constantly lol. They were so aggressive about it, and I was like… I’m just here to sing as often as possible to keep my voice warm for the stuff I actually care about after school lol.
I was a theatre kid in high school. Still am with college. Most were rather accepting in my program, but I KNOW *these* people. Man were they pissed when a freshman actually did get a lead female role
The genuine fury I felt in mu st9mach watching this 😂 I knew a girl like that in highschool but she was a freshman who got the lead and then tried to make fun of me (a senior) for trying to get the lead. Awesome acting, you slayed❤
i did my first ever audition with very little acting experience (a massive passion though yayy) and i got a callback!! im so nervous because the cast list is getting revealed tomorrow night!!! edit: i got the role!! i kinda forgot about this commenr until now ajdheine
I’m auditioning for a lead role. bahaha this hit home. Someone said “Not to be mean, but you have some strong competition against you.“ AND GUESS WHAT??? I GOT THE ROLE!!
I got a lead as a freshman in high school, and about a week before show the director pulled me aside and told me that even though I got a lead, that did not mean I would always get a role, or that I should be cocky. And I hope I managed to live up to her expectations. But I'd totally be willing to flaunt it to someone like this
See our highschool you can't do musical or regular theater freshman year you have to wait till sophomore year which I think most pepole are really thankful for
When I was in 4th grade our school did Matilda Jr (my school is 4th-8th) and all of the 8th graders were like the senior in this video! I was auditioning for Miss Honey and I got the role!
I got a lead role, as a freshman, for our UIL show. I had to use a British accent, which was easy enough. Now I'm gonna be a sophomore, and I got the lead role for our musical, but I auditioned as a freshman. Do not underestimate us! 😊
Please keep these going bc literally I did ballet and a girl with a cast on won at competition, but the unfortunate plot twist was I was the only one in the waiting area when her mother had to fight for her to do a solo. And I hate to report but they told her that her daughter was not the size she needed to be and the mother put a barre in their attic and her leg wasn’t broken before but word on the street her mom pushed her so hard that she may have just injured herself by accident but look at God bc I only I heard and saw it all go down bc I was waiting in lobby for my sister to finish her class. Either way she won with a cast on and I cried just proud of her tenacity ❤
Upperclassmen saw my name on the audition list and loudly went "omg little baby (my name) actually wants to be a star!" And cackled like those mean girls on Disney Channel. I was baffled that they actually exist in real life!
Whenever I meet THOSE girls, I say, "well, it's nice to know who I should confidence hype before rehearsal and who I shouldn't". Because when me and my theatre friends are about to perform, I scream, "we are going to slay this, we are stars! We are queens! We are going to steal this show tonight!"
My sister met a senior like this her freshman year when she auditioned. She wasn’t auditioning for the lead, but she auditioned for a big part and the senior kept telling them “You know you’re not gonna get it, right? You’re a freshman.” A week later she got the role.
Not a theater kid, but This actually happened at my high school. The school play during senior year was The wizard of Oz and a freshman girl was actually Dorothy! I asked my friend about it and she was like “well yeah their grade doesn’t matter, talent does” and it was a pretty good play too 🤷🏾♀️
Plot twist: She gets the lead
664 likes and no comments? Lemme fix that
And the senior ends up breaking her leg
I wanna see it lol
@@s.patel08_alex77 LMAO
and the senior doesnt even get in the cast

Yes.
Completely unrelated but I love the pfp I just had to say it.

So true, im fuming here
Bruh same
"It's fine. It's not like you're gonna get it." That was so mean!
Girl told me that. I got the lead and she was in the back row of an ensemble that was 30 people

“I’m going to get the lead because I’m a senior” is the college equivalent to “I know everything and you owe me respect because I’m elderly”
And yet… plenty of stages do operate that way 🙄

As a technician, I can confirm that during meetings before casting, the seniors are already "pre-cast" for leads. At least by our director
As a theater kid I would looooooove some more videos like this
i need a pt 2 of her reacting to the freshman getting the lead
I admire people that can stay nice when someone speaks like this to them because I'd raise hell lmfao
And that's how the senior ends up in the chorus
ok but GURL your entire everything looks INCREDIBLE
girl literally an hour ago a freshman (friend of mine who 10000% deserved it) got the lead in our hs musical
In a small way, it's giving Sharpay Evans! 😂 Love your videos! 🌷
the "eArn yoUr plACe"
Her acting is so on point omg. I have not seen as much fake in a good minute!! 😂 she can get any role she wanna, slay boo 💅 slay
she’s so slay
YOUR HAIRS SO PRETTY
Your hair!😍
Those where the seniors I had but for guard…. I got the “lead” aka a solo and they were so mad. Especially cause there’s not an “audition” for a solo the director just gave it to me. 🙃
Guys, true story. My older sister auditioned for the lead as a freshman and she got it.
Freshmans youve got it!!!!
Part 2: she gets the lead and now the senior is offended and goes at the director, who tells her that she can’t act
Not me going to colledge for a theater major come this fall and this shows up while filling out scholarships lol. 🤦♂️
When I joined my first professional acting company I was so worried that the older teens would treat me like that, in reality, they all are really nice people and at cheerleading competitions I get to see one of my friends on the opposite team tho.
its always the "we love" like theres no one on your side😂

Omg the judgment lol

your acting is so good I'm getting so fuckin livid I'm having flashbacks
These kinds of people would make me cry and regret doing anything ever, including living.
Omg omg omg the accuracy! Im transported back to theatre school!
this gave me flashbacks
Highlights look so good!!
This reminds me of an episode from the Podcast "Sounds Like A Cult". They did an episode on Theatre Kids and this very weird group dynamic 😅
Fuuuu the way this triggered flashbacks for me. This is why I didn't miss theater too much when I dropped out.
I’ve been a thespian for years and everyone was dying when one of my fellow freshmen costars actually got the lead for Wednesday in the Addams Family Musical our freshman years 💀
We need a part 2
The fact that someone like that actually acknowledges that tech exists is a miracle
Please do more of the “theatre senior” it’s so amusing to me pleaseee
imagine her saying …”ok bye”
Me finding this while at play practice
The freshman totally got that lead
You know the acting is good when it’s giving me flashbacks 💀
Girll we need a part 2 😭😭
If you look up the word insecure, you might see that seniors face
SHE SAID GOOD LUCK OH NO SO MANY BAD THINGS ARE ABOUT TO HAPPEN
the flashbacks this gave me omg..
Girl I ove you so much. You give me smile every time I see you. I admire you and I always tell everyone..♡
Ngl tho, as someone in theater, I am not fond of when freshmen come into auditions expecting the lead. I don’t think they can’t get the lead, but the truth is, there is some grunt work that does need to be gotten through before you can expect a lead role.
we need the sequel of the freshman getting the lead and not the senior
I got the lead as a freshman and a senior actually quit the show because she was so mad lol
the sheer accuracy of this has be recoiling from pure rage, well done
The bully acting tho🔥🔥
In my highschool there was a girl that got every lead part starting first year. It got old fast and most of the school had no desire to go to the plays anymore because it was always all about her. She also got all of the solos in choir.

We had people treat my friend Scott like that in high school…….he always got the role he went for and they hated him. 😂
Hahahah, I would've done EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO GET THE LEAD THEN AND THERE!! Freshman, not freshman, this ain't no Highschool Drama Series!
Lol!😂🤣😂pls make a part two
PLZ MAKE A P2 WHERE SHE GETS THE LEAD
The look after “you don’t sing?” Was venomous!
I think I'm going to start saying "cute" but with absolutely no emotion too😂
This is too accurate
So funny, wish i could literally hang out with your highness.. At a go cart track or just whatever, hihi😜
