But she's acting like a total snob (thats just a nice way to put it) ever since she got the part.She been bossing me around a lot lately (like asking me to get her that fancy water which I forgot the of name). Before she got the part she was a sweetheart and would never treat me like this. What do I do. Reply to this Question

Remind her that it's just a school play and in no way makes her famous or even moderately talented.
Remind her that if she wants to advance in that area of her life she is gonna need friends and networking. You don't get or keep these by being a total bitch and having a superiority complex. Having an ego helps in theatre, but there is a limit.
Remind her that her co-stars are the ones who can and will complain to the director of her bitch-dom and get her kicked off the project if she chooses to be like this, cause no one likes a diva.
Overall warn her that if she keeps being a bitch you will ensure she is given a terrible review in the show.
This may sound catty at the very least, but if it is not stopped now and some form of modesty and grace instilled in her, then she will continue on this path and end up like Britney Spears did, shaved head and flashing her privates at anyone who'll look because she found out she isn't anywhere near as talented as she was lead to believe.

 You should go and talk to her about the way you feel and tell her that you are happy for her but she should not act snobby because its not seen as a positive strike in a persons character. You should also say to her that you are not her slave just because she got the role she wanted for the play.

 Just support her, it's only because she is so proud. I wonder how many hopefuls tried but your girlfriend got it. She is right up there on cloud nine. Don't burst her bubble. Just keep telling her how proud you are of her and if she needs any help with the part you are there for her. You never know, one day you could be her 'manager' when she gets famous. hope this helps.
