Ive heard this explained that there isn’t quite the same “theater kid” stigma over there compared to the US so more young ppl get into dramatic arts in the UK and Australia. So we have a ton of would be great actors who never gave it a shot bc they didn’t want to look uncool or get called a loser or queer by the high school bullies

No idea but it’s really odd. Our culture worships and celebrates celebrity and movies but we look at the youth in theater almost like there’s something wrong with them.

American culture has no idea what it’s doing a lot of the time and it sucks that people, especially kids, have to deal with the repercussions when they’re just trying to do things that make them happy.
