One day my daughter said of her experiences in professional theatre to-date “If I think of doing this just for fun it’s a crazy amount of work, but when I remember I’m getting paid I realize that I have the best job in the world.”
Something our working MTs have that not all college graduates ever will is an opportunity to earn a living doing something they genuinely love. When and if they stop loving it, or crave a lifestyle they can’t attain through performing, they are smart, organized and motivated enough to do something else.
