<p>Amazingly, throughout my entire Theatre experience, I haven’t met any of those “stage moms” pressuring their kids to audition like crazy, who show up to rehearsals and what their kid to steal the show, etc. etc. There are those parents who are very supportive and come to every show, but none of the crazily-obsessed ones. Then again, I started in 7th grade, so I think it’s probably a sign that trying to pressure your kids into activities they don’t want to do will never last for long.</p>
