•If your mom was extra, she would whisper/do the choreography at you from the wings during a recital/competition.
•She bribed you if you behaved well for directors/interviews/casting agents/if you did your solo perfectly (usually a puppy, kitten, or an Apple product)
•She expected you to behave well in front of everyone
•Your first role[s] were/was probably a Von Trapp kid, a Munchkin, an orphan (Annie if you were lucky), Baby June/Baby Louise, Tiny Tim, Little Cosette/Young Eponine/Gavroche, a pickpocket child (Oliver or Dodger if you were lucky) a Royal Child of Siam, one of Tevye’s daughters, Amaryllis/Winthrop/Gracie and Zaneeta Shinn, among others.
•She made you do modeling or pageants, even though you were caked in makeup 90% I’d the time.
•Her pics on her phone were mostly of you/siblings in past shows/pageants/recitals/whatever
•She made you take up an instrument or a unique talent
•You have been in a show, a pageant, a competition or recital where you wore something really skimpy and sexy for your age. Bonus points if you probably didn’t win (if it was a competition)
DISCLAIMER: I was NOT raised by a stage mom.
