Listen "Networking-Reps-Prep"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I delve into some of the most overlooked yet absolutely critical aspects of working in the theatre industry.
The Power of Networking – Why knowing people isn’t just about shaking hands, but about building long-term relationships that open doors, solve problems faster, and lead to opportunities you’d never expect.
How Reps Work (and What Happens When They’re Replaced) – Sales representatives are the bridge between manufacturers, rental houses, and end users. I’ll break down how reps really function, what makes a great rep so valuable, and what shifts when that person is suddenly replaced.
Prepping a Rental the Right Way – In theatre, a rental isn’t just a box of gear—it’s a reputation on wheels. I’ll share why proper preparation is the difference between a flawless show and a career-ending disaster, and give real-world examples of what happens when things are missed.
Whether you’re a student, a freelancer, or a seasoned pro, this episode is all about the behind-the-scenes truths that make or break careers in our industry.
