What is Theatre Geek?
1.
A (usually high school) student who performs in plays or does technical theatre work. Originally a term of derision (see definitions below), "theatre geek" has now been co-opted by theatre geeks.

2.
One who fills two requirements:
1. Participates in plays and musicals, either by acting, stage managing, joining tech crew or doing other technical work.
2. Enjoys the viewing and reading of plays and musicals.
This is not to be confused with a theatre snob, who only fills the second requirement.
That theatre geek tried out for The Crucible after he had seen it twice.
