As you can probably tell, I post quotes from shows/rehearsals/theaters I've worked at.
But!
I am also taking your submissions! Have a weird/unusual/funny interaction? Please send it in! Submissions are not just limited to text, either. Videos/pictures/sound are welcome as well. Additionally, I work on a queue and tend to mass prep posts, so it may take a bit to pop up.
If you don't have things to send in, but you've got questions about smth or just want to say hi, I am pretty much always down to chat about theater and theater-adjacent stuff, either through asks or dms, just don't be weird about it. (If I am not cool with your message, I will not respond and you may be blocked)
I do my best to tag everything right when I post it, but am by no means perfect. If you think I've missed something (or I've horribly misspelled something) let me know. I also will not shut up in the tags lol, so check those for jokes/complaints/more context. If you'd like anything specifically tagged, send me a message :)
