first week

no one knows their lines

you don’t really know anyone in the cast

the director seems nice!

director accidentally swears once and profusely apologizes 

everyone waxes poetic about how much they love theater

you’ve never seen the stage manager and you have no clue who they are

last week

still no one knows their lines, but everyone knows each other’s and quotes them incessantly

you know people’s deepest vulnerabilities, but you’re honestly not too sure of their last names

the director has made at least one person cry

director and actors swear freely at each other; director gives swears as line notes

everyone talks about how much they hate theater, with grim passion and commitment in their eyes
