<p>Related yet unrelated, sort of, LOL. Encourage you all to get your hands on John Lithgow’s book “Drama: An Actor’s Education” – certainly a tale of education in a different time, and yet it is an interesting story of “making it” in the business despite setbacks. His father ran the McCarter Theatre in NJ for many years and could have been a stepping stone, and yet John chose to go it on his own, for a variety of reasons. So with a Harvard / LAMBDA education and tons of regional credits, he still “couldn’t get arrested” in NY theatre for years, but when he finally got his break, it all started happening. His is a tale of “survival jobs” and all the missteps along the way. Fascinating. Must-read for theatre parents, if only for “ammo” to encourage our kids to keep working and auditioning.</p>
