What I Did For Love

I just finished reading Making It On Broadway by Jodie Langel and David Wienir. It wonderfully illustrates "the good, the bad, and the ugly" of being an actor. Through interviews, actors candidly let the reader know what it's like to be in their shoes- from their move to New York to collecting unemployment while waiting for their next gig. It's brutal honesty took me by surprise at first. People want to read about the "glamour" of being an artist, not the hardship. But reading the truth has somehow inspired me to try even harder, commit more deeply, and really relish in the fact that I have chosen this profession. Nothing can beat it! I can't wait for the show to start up again!
