Actors on Life Offstage
New York Times: "But it is work, work that is supposed to pay rent, buy food and sustain people (and in some cases families) for the long periods of anxious unemployment that are an inevitable part of a performer’s life. Given what stage actors make and what New York costs, staying afloat has always required improvisation, shrewdness, discipline, luck and a kind of obstinacy that some people call passion and others call craziness, and is probably a little bit of both."

It's more than the actors. It's the entire industry and the crews involved in the industry who never "leaves the stage." (other than for some economic issues) We constantly worry about if something is stored in the right way or if things fit the venue or the lighting is right for the evening. No biz like show biz.
