Being friends with a Broadway actor/actress

My friend and I were having a debate about something.

He was saying that there should be a strict line between audience member and actor and that should NEVER be crossed ever. And that any and all social interaction should start and end at the stage door.

My rebuttle with this was asking him if he met someone in the park or somewhere and they hit it off if he would have any problem getting contact info and continuing the communication. Of course he said he would have no problem to doing this.

I recently had a backstage tour of Phantom. The person who was giving me the tour was a cast members. I knew her because I seen the show before and met her at the stage door ect. After doing this for a while and after us stopping ad chatting for a while after each show I asked her if I could get a bacstage tour for my birthday. She said yes. After the tour was over I was giving her a thank you card. While I was reaching into my picket to get the card she had her arms open. When I gave her the card I did return the hug she wanted to give me.

That being said. If she offered me a hug is that a sign that she consideres me a firend. And not just a typical fan?

Before someone starts to ask why I am even caring ect ect. The reason is because I tend to care and wonder bout the ltte things that don't matter one bit.

I do! Why, is that not normal?

Hugging journal No.

But, I do have a journal of the number of smart asses I run into on a daily basis and found two new names to add.

"That being said. If she offered me a hug is that a sign that she consideres me a firend. And not just a typical fan?"

Not at all. I think it means she was being nice to you for your birthday.

Do you make special note of voluntaries vs. involuntaries?

And how do you feel about spinach?

I told Cher that I had been a fan since birth and she said, "Awwww" and hugged me. Is she my BFF now?

Until they've sat at your dining room table and you've changed their kid's diaper, they're not your friend.

if you get in the same subway car as me, that means you want to do me.

If you know someone personally, you're their friend.

I've gotten hugs from many people whom I had just met -I don't consider them a friend.

I agree, that if you have seen them in their personal life (as in, they want you there... not stalking), then it's safer to consider them friends.


And as long as you don't use it as a bragging point!

Here is the test to see if she is a real friend. Look her in the eye and ask her for her phone number and address.
If she flinches or hesitates she is not a friend. If she says, "Do you have a pen?", she is.
