When I was 16 I was the lead in a musical at a community theater. Yelling at the people under you is absurdly common in theater, at all levels. A few days before opening night the stage manager threw a fit and yelled at the entire cast because she was mad that literal children couldn’t stay perfectly still and quiet for hours while lighting was being set up.
I said something along the lines of “You don’t get to yell at me.” or similar and started to walk out of the building. Got the director and stage manager to apologize to the whole cast for their behavior and neither yelled again for the duration of that show. One of the proudest moments of my life, as silly as that is.
I hate yelling too, it makesme want to go hide under my bed
