theatre nerd

A theatre nerd is a person who is highly invested in musicals, sometimes to the extent that it’s an addiction. Theatre nerds are usually in all of the drama-related clubs at their school.
You may be a theatre nerd if you have any of the following symptoms:
• You sing showtunes Non-Stop
• You understood the reference above
• Tap dancing is not an uncommon occurrence for you
• You have overdramatic reactions to everything
• You will change in front of anyone
• Alexander Hamilton was not just a Founding Father to you
• Anything anyone says can trigger a song getting stuck in your head
• You unconsciously switch accents while talking

Theatre nerds are part of a a big, cozy community of people who are probably a bit too affectionate with each other at times, quote Shakespeare regularly, are very, VERY loud, and sometimes act like a cult.
