Mental Health Crisis In Theatre
Many of the professionals in the industry have recently spoken out about the conditions that workers are facing in recent years, including some chair members of organisations. Some of the ways they have spoken out informally include taking to social media, speaking to magazines, partaking in unofficial surveys, and of course word of mouth to allies and friends. These ways rarely get the attention of higher-ups and can sometimes cause trouble for those who have spoken out by not going through more formal channels. But some within the industry have taken the route of more official ways of speaking out including speaking directly to unions, associations, partaking in official surveys, and talking to adversaries who speak on their behalf. Some have even issued warnings to companies employing professionals in the industry.
