Here's what they don't see - The performance is the easy part

The truth is,
Youβll be sore and managing injuries regularly.
Restoring is non negotiable
If you truly want this, you may be saying No to social events outside of work as your human battery requires proper recharging.
The work can be sporadic, seasonal, and unpredictable at first. Wondering if youβll have enough to make it each month. The art of networking, creating and maintaining genuine relationships is crucial in order to aid in each month being stable.
What they donβt tell you is
You will spend hours in rehearsal. It will add up.
Curating & creating the details to make the production intentional and impactful, yet you will need to stand firm in your worth. Sometimes with little recognition to the long hours you spent to build your repertoire, character collection, and livelihood.

May this be but a glimpse at what it takes behind the scenes. Not a knock, simply a glimpse.
I constantly remind myself how blessed I am to be able to do these things and am grateful beyond words for these opportunities.
I wouldnβt choose any other way

Thanks for being here for this journey
I feel such support and love from you all
Did any of these thoughts surprise you?
Would you add anything?
