#backstage theatre

[verystrangehuman]

High school theater is so much fun because literally everyone is unstable as shit, pretty much no one has their schoolwork fully up to date, we’re all exhausted, and there’s usually huge amounts of relationship tattering drama but during performance nights we drop all of that off and if asked, we would all still die for each other. It’s like the pinnacle of non negotiable found family.

i just need people to be aware that anytime you go to see a live theatre show, it doesn't matter how serious and affecting the show is, there is always a possibility that your backstage crew light op is up there just, reading horny naruto fanfiction

The Literal Phantom of the Opera (DpxDc prompt)

When Cassandra Cain first began taking ballet, her fellow dancers quickly warned her about the ghost haunting the theater.

"He likes to watch us. I see him looking down at the stage from the catwalk all the time."

"It looks like he stole one of the Phantom of the Opera masks last time a tour came through, but its been covered in stars!"

"I heard him when I was acting in Wicked. I was alone in the green room doing some last minute practice and I swear he was humming along while I was singing!"

"It was the phantom who stole my makeup from my dressing room I just know it!"

"Haley from front of house didn't believe he existed until they came backstage to grab supplies for seat repairs. I don't know what they saw, but now they refuse to go backstage."

"That ghost is evil. It pushed me down the stairs to the office and I tore my suit on the railing. Do you know how hard it is to find an all white suit on short notice? I'm lucky it didn't break my ankle!"

"We used to have balconies before the renovations. Sometimes it sounds like someone is moving inside the walls where they used to be."

"I'm not sure that the ghost is fully aware we're performers. A few years ago when Heathers was here, the actress for McNamara said that it felt like someone was hugging her after Lifeboat."

"I've seen him without the mask. His face looks like it was just... shredded. I only saw it once, but I'll never forget that face."

"I heard that he likes to mess with the equipment in the control booth."

Cass isn't sure that the ghost is real, but she is sure that the other dancers think he's real. They often gossip about the theater ghost in hushed whispers, knocking on wood at the very mention of him. Her teachers prefer not to talk about the ghost at all, but they don't deny its existence.

It's not until she is practicing alone on stage and feels eyes on her that she thinks there might be something to the ghost rumors.

#this is inspired by the theatre i work at which is supposedly haunted :) #also inspired by Phantom of the Opera (how has no one done this yet?) #if anyone decides to make a fic of this: #i don't know how backstage and company people interact but i sure as hell know the chaos front of house gets up to #i am more than willing to give you FOH dialogue from personal experience #dpxdc #dpxdc prompt #dpxdc prompts

The world may be full of hate and despair but it’s also full of backstage technicians who secretly are wearing really fun socks under their stage blacks

Tuvok & Neelix are both cringe but only Neelix is free

#hope this helps #Tuvok/Neelix <- Yes #high school au Tuvok/Neelix is like: #Neelix is the kid who is part of the theatre group and only does backstage stuff & is always wearing anime shirts and is enthusiastically #participating in everything and earnest and everyone makes fun of him for it bc it's cringe & weird to care about stuff #and Tuvok is an individualist in that he's like the kid who wears a suit to school everyday and he has an off-putting #'I think I'm smarter than you' attitude and he gets called weird but doesn't care (he used to) and he calls other people weird despite it #Tuvok's out here with only one friend to his name acting like he's all that #what if we were both annoying and boys and I thought you were sooo cool even though you were kinda mean to me #and we drew a terrible oc together (tuvix) and we kissed but only where no one could see us

not a wholesome trotting race no but a race where they sit down right on a horse

#the backstage blessing is getting all the theatre kid songs lodged in your head #but having no voice or extroverted temperament to be publicly annoying about it
