    4. And then "borrow" the props after the show ends.

    5. We spend hours watching YouTube videos to learn how to perfect a certain accent.

    6. And we also spend hours searching for the "perfect monologue" for auditions.

    7. Everyone wants an on-stage death scene, because then you can relax backstage for the rest of the show.
