Sharing the best pieces of advice I've learned from Laura Benanti, John Mulaney... and me (ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER)
Hey theatre kids! Today we're deep diving into the comments of my Theatre Thursday videos here on the internet to help answer some of those most frequently asked questions. Stuff like "What dance shoes should I get?", "Am I too short/young/fat/pretty to get cast?", "How do I deal with rejection?" AND MORE!

i saw john mulaney on broadway and i can verify he is 100% a theatre kid. and you are definitely our president... and this is definitely a cult 😂😂
When you said “you can be that person!” I literally gasped bc I had honestly never thought of that before 😂
I loved the mention of 'feeling like a fraud' because I've felt that way so many times in the past.
I think we all need to appreciate how gorgeous our internet drama club president is, like damn if you wanted my wig you could've just asked for it. Also my next audition is Peter and the Starchatcher in a couple weeks and I'm hoping for Peter!
I just finished an audition for Little Shop Of Horrors on Tuesday and I got a callback! I have no idea what to expect, so I’m nervous, but I’m also excited! This is my first audition at my high school, I’m a freshman, and I know not many freshmen ever get callbacks!! I’m looking forward to doing my best though!

I’ve been subscribed for a while but I’ve never commented on your videos before.

I’m usually in the chorus lol I’ve been involved in a few high school productions before but your videos have seriously helped me so much with my auditions and performances in general. Thank you so much, You’re honestly a blessing❤️
Omg this was so helpful, thank you. As a freshman who just went to a theater interest meeting, this helps a lot. Thanks Katherine I can always trust you😁
"My dream is to just become the unofficial drama club president of the internet" isn't that everyone's dream
ily, also I just got into a thespian troupe!
This is really what I needed right now! I have had a weird experience with a theatre. I love it but my mom thinks there is too much favoritism but your speech about these people deserving it and trying to be like that person was something really great for me!
im so happy this video came out because I'm starting these rly intense acting classes and I already know Im going to be super intimidated so I'm preparing for one of those off days right now
i have an audition on wednesday for the sound of music! it’s at my theatre company and i’m auditioning for maria:)
“It’s a cult... let’s be real...” also I have audition in 2 week we did a cold read today and it was so fun! It’s for Shrek and I don’t know who to audition for! I’m so excited but it’s a bunch of high schoolers and im one of the few middle schoolers.
at this point i’m not exactly sure what your channel turning into but i am 1000% HERE FOR IT!! (i mean that in the sense of the comedy you use has gotten even better than before and i love it and you)
About to try out for my first musical this really helped I've watched your videos since forever and always loved them. Keep smiling 😀
I had an audition on Wednesday and we are getting the casting today (I auditioned late) it's for school of rock the Broadway one and I'm so excited to start it x
I have been waiting for this video all day !!!!! Also I went to go see Hamilton and I was so excited I cried all the way through wait for it , and in the second act when Phillip and Alexander were dying i was crying so loud my mom had to tell me to stop crying so loud .😂

Do you have any tips for doing two shows at once while balancing school? I'm currently playing Nora in Brighton Beach Memoirs and Fiona in Shrek the Musical!
♡ I'm really excited because I'm auditioning for Mayzie in Seussical! I think I'm gonna use "Diva's Lament" from Spamalot for my audition, because it is very Diva-y and confident, like Mayzie! If you have any other audition song suggestions, let me know! I'm kinda scared though because its an adult show, and they are looking for a 20-40 year old, but I know the auditioners and they are open to it and are excited (I emailed and asked). I have high hopes though because its my complete character type, and I play older generally, so yeah! Love you! ♡
Love this video and it came at the best time aswell because i start my performing arts course at college on Monday and was beginning to freak out this put my mind at ease Thank you xx
Katherine I am actually so thankful for you! Without you I wouldn’t have gotten this far, I just had my audition yesterday for my first high school theatre show, the little mermaid. I got cast as jetsum, ensemble, and the chef’s understudy, and I was the only freshman to get a role, and I beat out a few of the older kids, so like thank youuuuuu so much.
I’m prepping for bring it on auditions for Randall at my high school and I’m extremely nervous because I’m a freshman and we can only choose our songs based off of voice type and mines all over the place. HELP!!!!!!!!!

"All in favour of voting John Mulany into the cult"
Yes kathrine it is a cult
This came at like the perfect time. I was feeling pretty awful after we had our costume call today for Joseph & tATDC as there was some obvious favouritism of the skinnier girls getting much nicer costumes and us slightly larger girls getting told to buy some spanx and given awful baggy costumes. But your positivity and love for theatre absolutely outshone any negative feelings I had. Thank you Kat. Please don't ever let your sparkle get dull. ✨
I love this video. It is soooooo helpful! Tdh, I know I will always go to Catherine for theater stuff. Love ya❤
With an audition coming up, I really needed this!
Just started studying performing arts, this helped so much, love you Katherine, you inspired me to follow my dreams and begin training to be an actress!!!!

I honestly CANT WAIT to see your portfolio of work! I saw you and met you at Into the Woods and I wanted to see Loves Labors Lost, but I was super busy at the time. I feel like I love musical theater as much as actors do, but I don't really want to be an actor, haha!

Just auditioned for Lucy in Dracula. So excited to find out if I got the role!!! I've been watching your videos for about a year now and you always give such good advice. Love you beautiful ❤️
thanks Kat. today has been an... we will call it an interesting on. your video was a light today just due to it having some great advice that I can not only apply to my acting, but also in other aspects of my life such as rejection. I had a guy lead me on and kinda toy with my emotions quite a bit. and this was just a great tip to me. thank you again for being amazing 😊👍
Love your vibe! Was just passing by, but guess will hang around a bit more.
