It is written through the lens of an actor with raw experience. Autobiographical.informative. and witty. this book gives us a backstage view into what it really takes to run a theatre company. It also speaks candidly and personally about getting a day job in a new city in order to survive. stay healthy. and network while you plan. The information to getting started are all in one place. which makes it a great detailed reference guide for people just getting started or who have already begun.

The First and Last Place You Need To LookBy Megan ElizabethBeing in the process of starting my own theater company. Mr Nelsons book was the one stop shop I was looking for. Not only are there great tidbits for how to start your own theater company but several "what not to dos" when venturing out on your own. We have made this required reading for all of our founders and plan on using this book to check in throughout this whirlwind adventure. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
