Congrats

By drama_queen - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, at my school, we had the opening night of our production in which I act. None of my family or friends came. Basically, after 3 long months of hard work, the only person to "congratulate" to me after the show was the head of the theater department, who just wanted to tell me I was doing it wrong. FML

I've been acting for all my life. I haven't had my family come see a single show since elementry school, when it stopped being cute. Classic "we want you to be a laywer or something" bullshit. Before I had my car, I had to WALK to the theatre for rehersal because they wouldn't even drive me (I live in the country. No sidewalks, no blocks, it was tresspassing through 2 miles of cornfields everyday) But you know what? I did it. And every rehersal I worked my ass off. It never mattered that nobody was there for me, I loved theatre. Yeah, I had to watch all my friends with smaller parts and half my talent getting bouquets of flowers, but ya'know what? It didn't bother me. Because theatre isn't about getting induvidual praise. People see a show to be entertained and it takes a whole of a cast and crew working together perfectly to put a good show on. And THAT is whats important. Was the show, as a whole, good? Did the cast, as a whole, get applause? Then you should be happy. Quit yer bitchin'

I hope you were doing it because you like acting, not because you like attention

Ummmmmm..... it's only opening, OP. Generally speaking, that means that there will other nights for your family to go to. Calm down.

Hahaha. thats funny. Maybe if you had more self confidence, you wouldn't be so worried about everyone you know not being there to dote on you. Performing should be something you do because YOU love it, not because you want other people to recognize how skilled you are. Get over yourself.

Sorry nobody showed up, but your drama teacher is doing their job. I was in productions in school too. Guess what? We always went over notes about what everyone needed to fix. It's part of acting. You take direction and always do better instead of thinking you're awesome all the time.

no one came because, as the head of the theatre department proved, you suck balls at acting.
