Why I Left Theatre Part 2 — Fear

Maybe it’s the cover of the lat­est issue of Wired that clunked its way through our mail slot yes­ter­day, but I started think­ing about fear in the shower this morn­ing. Pretty quickly my thoughts drifted to the­atre and what I didn’t do with it since earn­ing my two degrees.

I’d be kid­ding myself and lying to you if I didn’t admit that Fear played a pretty major role in my depar­ture from the world of theatre.

Fear of what?

Failure. Looking stu­pid. Poverty. Working on mate­r­ial and with peo­ple I didn’t like. Oh, the list goes on.

Are those points of fear or just excuses? Is there a difference?
