I just discovered this via pintrest. I love most of it and feel that we can all relate. The SM's that run it work both at the college level and in professional theatres. What is your favorite post?

A classmate shared this with me about a year ago. I still look at it to make myself laugh.

Edit: I also just realized that this is from a different site, but I think I've seen the same post somewhere on the page you mentioned.

OMG, I love the "when there's a nice looking gentleman in your cast" one!!!  This always happens to me at auditions, especially musicals as I love a man who can sing.  I definitely look for wedding rings!  But then eventually I'm just "meh".  It's just so true.

I love them all.  But I laughed the hardest (and relived many moments) when I got to "waiting for crew members to get on stage for a set change." Oh, and "when excel freezes."

This has become my subtext response to most of the situations I deal with daily, I think of this and it makes me laugh.
