I really want to quit my job but I don't know if I'm being dramatic or not.
I work as a cleaner for a cinema; hoovering popcorn, picking up trash, mopping floors, wiping down seats and cleaning the tables plus cup holders. I work 2 hours a day (aside from Saturday where I work three hours), and have to clean 2 cinema screens. Screen 6 (the biggest screen there with 200 seats) and screen 5 with only around 50. Over the past week I have been doing my job without my boss complaining about my work -- but today and yesterday my boss has been complaining that she has had to clean up and do my job for me which is bs.
On Friday there was a few popcorn crumbs on a red seat that I had missed because they blend in with the material of the seat and she made me reclean the whole cinema room and told my dad (in whom I work with) to teach me how to clean the seats. She hadn't complained any other day about me doing the seats and said I cleaned them really well. On Sunday, she watched me clock out of work only to tell me I had to clean all the windows. (I cleaned the windows on Friday and Saturday because she told me those were the only days I had to clean the windows). She then told my dad that I had refused to clean the windows even though I never said that; she said I didn't need to do them and that she would. I also double checked with her if she wanted to do it, if not I was going to clean the windows myself, to which she said she would do them.
Today, however, she sent me a text saying if I didn't do my job correctly then I would be fired by next week. She then proceeded to send me messes which weren't there when I had finished up my work today. She showed me crumbs on the seats, which I had cleaned and she knew that because she watched me put my cleaning supplies back, some discarded rubbish under a seat (That was on me, I was supposed to pick it up but my hoover stopped working and I forgot to pick it up), and some trash + popcorn from under two seats. It wasn't a big popcorn mess, just 3 pieces and some crumbs. She had told me when I started to work there that I didn't need to clean under the seats everyday or wipe all the seats unless they needed to be wiped.
I get up at 4am every single day because I start work at 6 and now I don't even want to go. She never tells me how to improve, she either stays silent or tells my dad to tell me which I think is very unprofessional. I don't know. Am I being dramatic or should I just quit?

I'd say try to find a different job. You have to spend basically your whole life working, it's not worth staying in a job that's just going to stress you out when there are other opportunities
I completely agree. I've always wanted to be an actress so I'm gonna start there but this job was just to get some experience and I thought it would be good for me but it turns out it most definitely isn't lols.
