I did musical theatre for 4 years and choir for 8. The activities themselves were fun, but the other people involved were often kind of insufferable.

Lack of interest. This is like saying “Why aren’t there more men interested in batminton already? Like it’s 2026-uh!”

I dance in clubs or bars, but I have no interest in theatre I find it pretty annoying

It’s not interesting or appealing to me

I started getting into theater in 6th grade and got bullied by other boys so that was the end of that

The closet I got to any of those was doing the sound lighting set and prop designs for 4 years in highschool against my will

70% don’t know how to good and that’ll turn a lot of yall away and then the other 30% will think men who do even if they’re good at it are less manly

I feel silly doing anything besides slow dancing with someone.

if you did it in middle/high school that make sense. college/professional level is way better, since everyone is typically at the same skill level. i wouldn't recommend community theater bc you'll find the same issues but summer stock and internships are pretty much the same. i recommend if you miss it and wanna get back into it

I really don’t miss it. I performed at the state level for both, so the problem wasn’t a difference in skill or anything. I work in tech and have other hobbies now, so I’m content to just leave it as part of my lore tbh
