- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I did a ton of it years ago. It can be loads of fun, as long as you go in with reasonable expectations.
There's a lot to do, whether or not you get a part on stage. For example, many theaters need volunteers to help with sound, lighting, set design, etc. and are happy to train you to help.
And the part about reasonable expectations: all-volunteer organizations can have a wide variety of people - with a wide variety of skills. For example, every theater has at least one person in a high position who doesn't know what the fuck they're doing and who plays politics.
Focus on what you yourself are getting out of it, and how you can help others. If you do that, it's easier to do good work, learn things, and enjoy yourself.
