Zohran Mamdani Is A Theatre Kid?
In an amusing piece in The New York Times, Sopan Deb observes that 'Theater Kid' Is the New Political Insult, and Zohran Mamdani, New York's mayor-elect, is among the latest politicians to be tagged with the term, raising the question: What did theater kids do to deserve such scorn?
He writes, "Last month, the comedian Tim Dillon referred to New York City's mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, as a "theater kid," arguing that Mr. Mamdani's victory speech was "a little cringe."
"After Mr. Mamdani appeared in the Oval Office for a surprisingly cordial meeting with President Trump, Jack Posobiec, a Trump loyalist and conspiracy theorist, wrote on X, "Theater kids always crumble if you actually press them." He also released an episode of his podcast titled "MAGA vs The Theater Kids: Do You Want Drama or Do You Want Victory?"
Mamdani, a former improv student, actually is a theater fan, but that's not the point. Others who question the establishment are also being referred to as theatre kids, which is probably something like drama queen. Any way, Theatre Kids, take a bow!
"For an actress to be a success she must have the face of Venus, the brains of Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros."
