Let’s Recap My Stage Management Blog Posts
Mel @ brokeGIRLrich / October 20, 2017
I really enjoy blogging because it gives me a chance to talk about my two passions, working as a stage manager and managing finances. I love writing posts that combine these interests, and I appreciate how you tolerate my job-related rants. It’s especially nice when another stage manager comes across my blog and leaves a comment, acknowledging that I’m not the only one tired of the ‘starving artist’ stereotype.
