I've came to realize in recent years that the theatre club is probably one of the worst clubs you could ever subject a child to as there is a 99% chance that they'll grow up to be a miserable asshole. Even if they aren't pursuing their art choice as a career. People joke about the high school football player that is still sharing his highlights years after graduation. And those guys do exist, trust me. But the jocks have a much higher happiness rate from my experiences. The ones I knew all successfully moved on to different things. Even the ones that are working a dead end job still come across as happy in some shape or form.She's a classic theatre kid in the sense that she never grows to love anything more than the applause, the attention, the flowers and the lights. She has no love for the work, the craft, the camaraderie that theatre can bring. Allison has always been that girl desperate for the the lead, but she's eternally in the chorus. And not even the dancing chorus, the crowd scene, box stepping, jazz hands on the risers chorus.
The theatre kids that I knew all are really vindictive, bitter assholes who are also highly pretentious snobs who think their superior to everyone. Even when they drop out of college because they mentally couldn't handle it, can't find work in their field after graduating (even in non-art related degrees) or are still overly angry about something despite having success in whatever field they chose.
Out of all the theatre kids, I can safely say there is only one who didn't turn out to be an asshole and genuinely comes across as a happy human being. When there is a sea of theatre kids I knew and only one ends up happy, you know there is a fucking problem.
