A career in musical theatre is hard, no matter how wonderful your training is or how developed your skills are, because of the vulnerability it requires, the rejection you have to continually face, plus all the fierce competition at every audition, and the head-games and negative self-talk we get into with ourselves.
The Mental Game of Musical Theatre is all about helping you persevere through the mental challenges that inevitably come up along the way, while you're pursuing, building, and maintaining your musical theatre career.
