Hello. My name is Anthony and I am 12 years old. This is my BroadwayWorld account. I don't want to be the "little kid". Theatre is really my life. I love this so much and I hope to be on the stage when I grow up. Please do not be snarky. I really am into this and this means a lot to me. I would like to be part of discussions and everyhting on this website.

1. Don't have a light directly behind your head -- we can't even see you.
Trust us kid, I'd take this down from this site....people are going to be pretty snarky.
Join in the discussions, certainly.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

This probably wasn't the best thread to start. Since your 12 (if this a real account), this is probably one of your first times on the message boards. I'm a relatively new member here and by no means a theatre expert (at least not yet), but I post questions and answer other questions/join in the discussion when I can.
So...stop commenting on this thread and if you're interested join in the discussion.
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth!
Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth.

Think about this: why are you introducing us to your playbills? What does this "do"?
We love that at your young age you have a passion for theater and have been lucky enough to feed that passion on Bway. However, some folks here love to tear down raw optimism.
To continue the advice: ask a question or offer an opinion on an existing thread. Let us get to know you through your thoughts, not your list. That way, you get to know the folks here as well....and you'll have a better idea if you even want to hang around. While everyone here loves theater, we don't love everything and we aren't afraid to to give brutal and honest opinions.
(However, BroadwaySpace.com also has discussion boards and the members there are very young as well -- you might find more kindred spirits there.)

Yeah, you probably would have been better off not admitting your age on here, but hey- welcome! I hope you'll be able to contribute as articulately as (if not more so than) some others on this board!
Enjoy, and be careful around these parts! People like to rip little boys to shreds here!
I am truly happy that people your age love theater so much.
