2016: the year of Trump vs. Clinton, Brexit, and Hamilton. I was a graduate student in London, pursuing a Master’s at RADA and I was obsessed with Hamilton. I listened to the cast recording on repeat and I longed for the day when I would be back in New York attending a performance. Little did I know a year later I’d be working as an Usher at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, home of Hamilton.
Imagine: you are an usher at a venue, casually checking tickets and giving directions. The line of eager patrons anxious to get to their seats stretches out to the periphery of your vision, so you attempt to help everyone as quickly as possible to ensure no one gets stuck outside of the doors once the seating hold begins.
