It’s hard to imagine a time when people didn’t communicate without the add-on of adorable emojis, whether expressing happiness, heartbreak or humor. And with the range of emotions found in theatre, emojis are the perfect way to describe some of the most common occurrences theatre kids experience from rehearsal to closing night.

Here are 26 emojis you’ll use as you perform in a show and the times when you’ll need them most:

When the cast list goes up and you see that you made it in the show!

When your scene partner nails their delivery a little too well and you break character to dissolve into giggles.

When your rehearsal was scheduled to end at 9 p.m., but it’s 10:45 p.m.

When your choreographer asks if you practiced your moves since the last time you saw her, and you answer, “Of course!”

When your crush gets cast opposite you after weeks of wishing on your end

When you’re told today’s the day you’ll run your love scene in full — stage kiss included — with the whole cast watching.

When you walk into rehearsal off-book for the first time.

When your director gives the whole cast notes, but they all seem to stare at you.

When you get to rehearsal and are told you’re running a completely different scene than the one you’d prepared for.

When your director asks who in the chorus wants an extra line to sing in a song.
