In this hilariously heartfelt episode of Middle-Aged Millennial MILF, I take you behind the scenes—literally—of my time as Booster Club President Extraordinaire during my kid’s production of Big Fish: The Musical. From wrangling drama kids (harder than herding cats, trust me) to ensuring the fog machine didn’t set off the fire alarm (again), I was the unsung hero of the theater.
But being backstage at every show didn’t just make me an honorary techie—it sent me spiraling into full nostalgia mode for my own high school days. Remember the magic of opening night? The smell of hairspray and desperation? The emotional rollercoaster of teenage drama both on AND off stage? Yeah, I was suddenly right back in it, except this time I was the responsible adult (allegedly).
Expect laughs, sass, and a few dramatic monologues about how high school theater shaped me, why I totally would have been a star if life had gone differently, and the wild reality of being a grown-up in a sea of hormonal chaos. Whether you were a theater kid, a band geek, or just someone who lived for the gossip in the green room, this episode will hit you right in the feels—while making you laugh so hard you might just break character.
