Showmance

For those in the know a showmance is pretty self explanatory. For those not in the know, a "showmance" is a relationship started and carried out during the run of a theatrical presentation between cast or crew members of said show. Now, showmances I'm sure are beneficial to many an actor or techie that never interacts with anyone outside the theatre, and many a showmance has lead to marriage, but in my opinion showmances are perhaps the worst idea ever. Just look at Branjelina. Now I know the appeal of being with someone that understands your Brecht jokes and makes their own is almost too much to resist, but here are 5 good reasons why showmances are awful-->

1)Showmances are perpetrated in the dark backstage, or while in really pretty costumes, so how can you really tell what your showmance partner looks like?
2)Showmances are between actors and actors, or actors and techies or techies and techies. I have no problem with these groups being friends, but by the nature of these roles someone is always doing the dirty laundry and that's just awkward.
3)When everybody's stripping to their skivvies in the dark you'd better believe your showmance will have no privacy.
4)Shows, like band camps, eventually come to an end, and with the end comes all the glitter and dazzle of the showmance. Suddenly you don't have 5 scheduled hours a night to be together and you actually have to work at the relationship, fun over.
AND...
5)You're BOTH in showbiz! Worst idea ever.

So, you ask, what's a girl to do that spends 8 hours a day in a basement sewing, dressing strangers and working with all women to do? Stalk the Tanner and marry an MBA student.
