SECOND ACTING.
I had a roommate last year who introduced me to this one, which I don't understand and think is pretty awful. Second Acting is the process of sneaking into a show at intermission without a ticket. This girl justified it by "I've seen the show before, and it's terrible," but even when you're sneaking into The Addams Family... NO. STOP IT.
Theatre is both an art and a business. When you second act a show, you are stealing a product - that is, the performance. You are stealing from the actors, the musicians, the director, the stagehands, the designers, the producers, and the playwright. This is bad juju, ESPECIALLY if you're any kind of theater major! Would you want audience members to steal from you?
Basically, Second Acting a show is the fastest way to steal from as many people as possible, without actually being Bernie Madoff.
I used that line earlier and was REALLY REALLY proud of myself but no one laughed.
