Summer stock is truly it’s own amazing, tiring world! If you have ever worked with a summer stock company or are currently performing with one, you know these things to be true:
You learned an entire full-scale musical in two weeks. Or better yet - two full-scale musicals in two weeks that will perform in repertory.
You make just enough money each week to (gratefully) survive on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. For breakfast, lunch and dinner.
You are sick of the few outfits you managed to pack in one suitcase for 1-3 months. The phrase “I have nothing to wear” is very real.
You stuff your face when your parents come to visit and take you out for a nice dinner.
You didn’t think you could be this tired. Ever. But don’t fall asleep now – you have dance rehearsal this evening!
You wouldn’t trade the memories or friendships made for anything.
