When I seek rest from being jaded,

I will call out - And lose one eighth of pay.

I’ll follow what Equity’s stated.

For I am #SOBLESSED to be on Broadway.

Gypsy of the Years, Broadway.

Bares of Broadway.

We give 2% to Equity.

Through openings, Broadway.

Closings, Broadway.

We screlt, Broadway to thee!

Upper Classmen and Lower Classmen

Like any normal high school, the classes at GMC High are broken down into freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. It can be difficult to decipher which class you and your friends sort into. If you still live for your job, you’re definitely a freshman. If you typically bring non-theatrical-folk friends into Yum Yum Bangkok VII around six o’clock on a Saturday and pretend you’re shocked to see people you know, when you really just brought your friend there to show how popular you are, you fall between a sophomore and a junior. Allow me to elaborate…

Broadway Freshmen

These are all the Broadway performers who are super-duper excited about their job and irritatingly wide-eyed about everything that comes with it. They’re big on social media. They converse with their fans. They volunteer for every event. They love Broadway no matter how long they’ve been working there.

Broadway Sophomores

They still love it, but kind of want you to believe they’re a bit too cool for it – even though everything still thrills them. Remember sophomore year of real high school when you were so happy to not be a freshman anymore that you pretended to be more of a cool veteran than you were? That’s the same here. The Broadway Sophomore is the actor who sees you across 8th Avenue and screams, “Hey, girl! You going to your stage door? I’m going to my stage door, too.” They’re nonchalant, but still want everyone on the street to know what they do for a living.

Broadway Juniors

They’re kind of over it. They don’t go out as much after the show. They don’t play in the Broadway Softball League. They don’t do much of anything except pretend they’re freshmen. They put up the front that they still love performing on Broadway, but secretly they hate it. Perhaps they’ve been playing the game a bit too long, but haven’t figured out what to do with their lives next – because college doesn’t teach you what the hell to do once you make it to Broadway and then stop caring. The Broadway Junior is the actor you see bitching about you (or something else), as they’re walking down the street and when they see you they’re like, “Oh, hey girl! Whatsup?”

Broadway Seniors

They hate it. They don’t care anymore. They’re bitter. They’re jaded. They complain about their job in front of friends who have trouble just getting callbacks. They need to do what every senior eventually does… Graduate.
