I was there when the quote-unquote golden age of musical theater was flourishing. I met everybody who worked in theater or was famous in theater from the '40s on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up performing in theatre.
When I was a young woman, before I moved to New York, working in small, non-Equity theatres in the Midwest, I did a lot of musicals in my early to mid-20s.
I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'
I'm a theater guy at heart; I love the theater. I was lucky enough to spend a good decade and a half in the New York theater community.
I was heavily involved in musical theater.
I got into theater at an early age.
I first got involved in theater in 1968, at the height of a social tumult. I was a poet.
The theater is where I belonged; I simply wanted to be an actress my whole life.
It was always theater for me. But part of that came out of the fact that I was always acting out as a kid. I was the kid who didn't play well with others.
It wasn't until I went to college that I met the theatre people and began to admire them because they were learning a trade that was guaranteed to make money!
