Pregnant Performer: Who’s Gonna Hire Me?
I was speechless. Fired before I was hired. And by another woman! Unlike a male theatre director you’d have thought she would’ve accepted and embraced my pregnancy. But no. She said,“I just know that when my little girl was born I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t possibly have directed a children’s show. Your baby will only be six weeks old when rehearsals start and it will be a very demanding schedule. There will be lots of running around outside of the set rehearsal time.”
