Theatre Major

Theatre major is a humorous slang label used in LGBTQ+ online culture, especially on social media, to describe someone whose behavior is over-the-top dramatic, performative, or camp, as if they are always mid-scene in a play. It plays on the stereotype of theater students as flamboyantly expressive and emotionally heightened. The phrase is usually affectionate rather than cutting, applied to friends, public figures, or oneself to name a big reaction or a flair for drama. It sits alongside related terms like theatre gay and theatre queen in the shared vocabulary of queer theater fandom.
