Broadway Stage Door Etiquette... is this weird???

it was just a question. dear god. I was wondering if giving gifts was frowned upon. And am i obsessing over it? No. Not at all. I asked ONE question. Lets say i posted this several times.. That would be a different story. But I didn't.

It's okay. I don't only have six years left of sanity. I lost that long ago lol

Carly Rachel, any 15 year old interested in the theatre and concerned with its' etiquette is encouraging and a person to be commended. Let the uglier comments go. They are silly, inappropriate responses. They, in fact, display a sad lack of etiquette. Go on being wonderful and go see shows as often as you can.

thank you so much! That really means a lot :) I'll just give it to her. If she doesn't want it and she throws it away, oh well. It's just the thought that counts! I'll just listen to the nicer comments from people like you! I'll remember all of them if I ever get to Broadway

In a day when e-mails, tweets, and texts are so common, a simple, handwritten note shows that you put some thought and effort into it. If the theatre or their performance meant something to you, do not be afraid to say so. How many of us would appreciate a sincere expression of thanks at work? Performers are people too: you're sentiment may be just what they need to lift their spirits on a rough day

Can someone tell me what is happening here? The OP deleted the first post so I can't tell what's so weird.

No, RAT, we're just reacting to the lack of board etiquette that the young girl may not be aware of, as she admits and apologized for.

Interesting that having been here one week, you're already insulting us too.

Let the games begin!

Clyde,The OP was asking whether it would be appropriate to give a handmade jewelry box to the touring Elpahaba at the stagedoor because the role means a lot to her. She made the mistake of saying something like "It's not like I'm some crazy 40 year old stalker," which some posters can't still get over even though she already apologized.

I'm so sorry! I had no idea what I was doing.i asked:
Hi! So I needed some advice on stagedooring. I have done it 3 times before on broadway, and I am going to one of the wicked national tour shows this summer. I am a big wicked fan, but for the main reason that it has changed the way I view myself and how much stronger I am against people tearing my ideas down. So not just some crazy stalker fan girl. Also, I am only 15 Do you think it is okay for me to give the elphaba a little wicked jewelry box(idk how to describe it. It's not really a jewelry box though) that I made myself? I just want ger to know how much the show has inspired me. It's really tiny, and she just tweeted that she loves the gifts she has recieved Would it be weird to give this to her? Thanks!!!

I honestly am sorry. I didn't mean to offend any one. I'm really not a mean person. I don't know why I would type that. I've felt bad ever since I typed it.

Clearly I was poking fun at myself but you keep looking for stuff that isn't there if it makes you happy.

I got that you were poking fun at yourself, and I found it pretty funny, actually.

Carlyrachel_, GymRat is right, don't listen to em'. There's a lot of bitter people on this message board and it's a sad state of affairs. Any young person interested in the theater should be welcomed with open arms instead of discouraged. You should mostly definitely share your jewel box! I would be very surprised if it was not well received. I don't see much wrong with your original post either. If only I was so eloquent at 15! You're certainly ahead of the curve so don't get dragged down by comments in negative places like BroadwayWorld. Keep loving theater!

PS. Ladies and gents on this board - get a grip! Broadway's audience is shrinking and theater is often seen as an antiquated art form by youth. So instead of nitpicking a 15 year old, focus your energy on creating a positive environment!

Jane, if you're among the "lowlifes" then I consider myself to be in good company.

When I was 15 I gave Nureyev a sterling silver coke straw. And then he died.
