I’ve often compared Theatre and Sports, specifically football. But not just because I love both theatre and football! Our actors are like the athletes, and the support staff, designers, creative team, all function as various coaches, coordinators, while the team owner and the lead producer are almost identical. Finally, sports and theatre both are emotional and communal experiences that exist in the moment.
One of my first jobs out of college had me working with a bunch of guys. I mean, that’s how it was, just me and the guys, building scenery, being awesome. I knew very well when I got into this industry that it was not the norm to have women around unless you where in the costume shop, or painting.
