      I was thinking the exact same thing. Non-theatre-kid folks don't make fun of theatre kids because they don't know such a breed exists, and don't care enough to know. I'm an orchestra kid (aka theatre kid adjacent) meaning I don't contribute at all to the roast, but I understand the inside jokes enough that I sit far away in the orchestra section and go "...hehe..he"

      @@TQM We know. We just went, “Egh… Alright.” When we saw them do some weird dramatic shit, based on something they saw in a play one time. And their pack of theatre friends react as if it was anything less than a gross interpretation of actual human interaction. As compared to real bitches and drama, which stupid dudes playing for them. Often jocks, but also others. Which was not an act as such, but was fake for it’s inability to see past the tiny bubble Highschool social shit represented. Band and orchestra where never anything special, but they had their own caste, and where never subject to much scrutiny outside of it. I was stoner/slacker caste. Mixed with a bit of loser/outcast initially.

    As an undergrad I had a part-time paid job as a stitcher in the costume shop but there were also a bunch of theater students who had to do volunteer hours in the shop as part of their program. Consequently the shop was always filled with bored theater kids who had been given mindless, skill-less tasks. There was a giant permanent sign that said "NO SINGING". Inevitably one of the theater kids would start humming and the costume shop manager, a tiny Italian woman who wore all black every day, would make a clicking sound with her tongue like how you might correct a dog then look at the kid with open disdain and silently point to the sign. Respect.

    I’ve been a singer for a very long time, but I only just got into musical theatre after so many people telling me that I’d be “suited” for it, and being an outsider observing firsthand, I can confirm that this video is 100% accurate. Even the adults are like this; it’s like a phase nobody grows out of and that is totally horrifying. I never thought a 43 year old woman would lecture me for 27 minutes on why Idina Menzel singlehandedly saved Broadway with a chorus of nodding girls behind her, but it did.

    The living hell of being trapped in an English class five days a week with sophomore theater kids constantly singing the chorus of Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame has never been surpassed for me.
    I was also a techie for my high school theater program so having to hear the song during dress rehearsal, practices, run through, mic checks, and in the dressing rooms on top of this... I was ready to throw myself off the lighting fixtures.
    It also wasn't as if I didn't like the songs. I was in theater as an actor for one semester and never again will I subject myself to that shit no matter how much I adore singing and musicals. Theater kids are rude to each other, are always in drama, possibly making out or breaking up backstage, and being incredibly unkind and unhelpful to us techies just trying to make their show run smoothly.

    I only had my foot in the theatre kid pool during my senior year's production of _Into the Woods._ I'm terrified of being on stage yet I got so roped in on it that I auditioned. I still love musical theatre but seeing this reminds me of how glad I'm not a theater kid in my 30s.

    I can't imagine the horror modern teenagers are going through with theater kids around them. When I was in high school, every other theater kid was either belting out Sia songs with a ukulele in the hallways, or fighting over plays like Chris describes. I'm pretty sure the first time I encountered a theater clique doing unsolicited Dear Evan Hansen scenes in the hall, my organs failed and everything since then has been a vivid hallucination.
