But how do you get started when you barely make enough money to survive and you never even learned where to begin? Journey through a year of navigating headshots, auditions, staged and plays-complete with backstage drama and audience walkouts-all while working the craziest day job and making amazing new friends. This is the story of improvising a life in the arts, one scene at a time.
