One time a customer complimented my pants and I said โthanks I got them at old navy!โ And she said, โโฆ oh I thought they were nicer quality than that.โ I canโt stop thinking about this
A regular at the cafe where I work and I are doing a book swap (around a common theme!) and she also brought in Meyers lemons from her momโs farm in California. It really is the simple things and human connection that makes life feel so good.
Dear Theatrical Employers,
Hire understudies.
Hire swings.
Hire sub stage managers.
Hire enough to give your workers coverage.
Hire them from Day 1 and train them.
End the cycle of coercion.
And keep your shows open in the process.
You can do it.
All you have to do is do it.
