Moms in the Biz

February 17, 2011 by Racheal

A lot of women will say being a working mother is the hardest thing in their lives to balance.  I agree, and I started thinking about how that applies to women in theatre.  I keep forgetting that our lives aren't "normal".  The kids can't watch TV without saying "oh, … [Read more...]
