You have to have the courage to go with your gut. And the willingness to take the smaller job. Like life, in theatre, it doesn’t pay to have a big ego. No job should be too small for you. If I didn’t take the understudy position because I was too proud, or felt it was beneath me, then I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be standing here in front of you today. So say yes. Get coffee for people, run errands, make an impression as a hard worker, someone who is willing, and when the opportunity arises for you to show people what you got: show ‘em. Who knows what can happen?
