<p>My D has been interning at a theatre this year and found out there is a heck of a lot to do in this business that does not involve acting. Many of the people working in the theatre are actors, but working at the theatre, making it “go” is their “plan B” and keeps food on the table and a shelter over their heads. Plus, being in the theatre gives them a shot at getting good roles AT the theatre. My D, by interning there, has learned valuable skills, like how to solicit donors, marketing, working the box office, and putting together Board books for Board meetings… all work that she can use if she needs her own “plan B” when she hits the real world. Its a great way to earn a living being around the thing you love…</p>
