The last time I played Puck, the director was a huge freak about not letting us wear shoes on stage because it would “ruin the look”, but we all kept eating shit, and instead of just letting us wear skintone dance shoes or something with grip, motherfucker poured Pepsi on the floor so it’d be sticky and we had to schlorp around. I fucking hate you, David.

Why couldn’t this have been a one time I dreamt

Coking the stage (mopping it with diluted soda so it’s a little sticky) is a legitimate low-budget tactic for slick floors, but he just poured so much Pepsi on the floors that for about a whole week, it was audible.

Maybe the course of true love would run a little fucking smoother if we didn’t have to ford your Pepsi river, DAVID.

I would just quit. Fuck people like that. It’s easy to walk away

No it’s not. Didn’t you read the post? There was dried Pepsi everywhere.

Tbh some of the tags on this are great but nothing will come close to this masterpiece

we are all rowdy theatre kids in god’s denny’s when you really think about it

it’s something experienced not explained 

Some of you have never piled in by the dozens to a diner at 11 pm after closing night with stage makeup still half on to annoy the staff by pouring all the condiments on the table into a glass of water and paying your friend $20 bucks to drink it and it shows

Musical theater people will post a “continue reading” size status on fb with full photo album about a 20 minute gig they did humming in the bathroom at 54 below talkin about how the group is a “family now” and “this journey has been incredible”
