Feature: Passion and Drive for Their Craft: An Interview with Studio Theatre's Production Apprentices
by Elliot Lanes - Feb 17, 2023

It's just one button!' or 'Wow, that didn't look hard at all. I could do that easily'. Well folks, working in theatre is not an easy profession. It comes with lots of stress and long days but if you have the drive and passion, it can be very fulfilling.
