There's nothing like a play. It's so immediate and every performance is different. As an actor, you have the most control over what the audience is seeing.
My background was producing and writing and performing in television when I started out, and I really missed that, that whole creative process that comes from sort of 'me' storytelling.
When we help others to perform at the highest level of their potential, we receive something of value; our character is strengthened.

I wanted so badly to have a backup plan for when I'm not performing anymore. Let's be realistic: it's not going to be like this forever.
If you are building a culture where honest expectations are communicated and peer accountability is the norm, then the group will address poor performance and attitudes.
