Let me know the next time you're in the city and free to meet up for a coffee - I'd love to catch up!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569833401640891440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142310003005897861.post-84928600366884251272012-06-26T12:06:55.436-04:002012-06-26T12:06:55.436-04:00What a fantastic idea Claire!

Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but every day I feel like screaming and crying because, like you, I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I thought that with passion and perseverance I would land a career performing. Now, I'm just envious of my friends performing at the Four Seasons up the street. It's brutal. <br /><br />Stay at home as long as possible. Audition, audition, audition, and when you're finished auditioning - PRACTICE. I wish my parents had stayed in Toronto, but no - they had to move to the middle of nowhere. Trying to make a living as a performer and still make rent in this city is damn near impossible. I blame Aubrey Dan, the menace who refuses to hire Toronto talent and simply brings American touring shows through our theatres. Curses!Kate Carter Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11993571245322562104noreply@blogger.com
