When I was in college, every summer I would work for free at a theater.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did loads of student films and fringe theatre. I worked for free a lot.
You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater. I do a play a year... somewhere.
When you do a film, you get picked up in a car, lunch is free. Theatre is really hard, and you get absolutely no money.
Theater is not to make a living, so I don't have the money pressure.
I love working in the theater.
I want to do work that means something to me so that when I go to work at the theater eight times a week, I want to be there.
I grew up doing musical theater.
I thought I was going to be a theater actor. I moved to New York after college and did some plays and worked a lot. Once the realities of living as a theatrical actor hit me, I realized I wanted to start making a little bit of money and not have to bartend and work in theater.
I'm a kid that went to theater school. I thought I was going to be making my living doing plays regionally or in New York or on Broadway, and maybe if I got lucky I would do a movie here or there.
When I was focusing on theater, I would go on for months without any work and could hardly pay the rent.
