The Business Actor

Before I start discussing this extremely heated topic I would like to make a disclaimer. I promise I have not shared any information that has not been carefully researched and verified by reliable sources. This article is to inform actors of their legal rights, what steps they should take to protect themselves and hopefully win their case, and what resources are available to you to get help. If you need help there is a phone number you can call from the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline from rainn.org. The number is 800-656-HOPE (4673). A highly trained representative from your area will assist you, with confidentiality, in letting you know the steps you need to take and what laws you need to pay attention to for your area. I am not a professional so this is why I have sources. Some of this might seem like common sense but it's still worth a read. Enough is enough. It is not news to any of you that there is a reckoning happening in our society all over the world. Wome

Editors Note: I  am very excited to introduce my first interview series guest, the incredible Daisy Prince. I was extremely fortunate to have Daisy as my professor in New York City at the Tepper Program with Syracuse University. Her credits include performing in Pal Joey (1995), The Petrified Prince (1994) and Follies (1985) Off Broadway and Merrily We Roll Along (1981) on Broadway. Her director credits include The Last Five Years (2002) and Songs for a New World (1995). It is extremely exciting for me to share Daisy's wisdom in music with you today. Enjoy! When did you decide you wanted to perform and direct?   I come from generations of professional Musicians, Directors, and Writers. Doing something in the performing arts seemed inevitable. On my mother's side, my grandfather was an Arranger and Composer for MGM and Columbia during the golden age of movie musicals. He then became an executive producer for movies including The Sound of Music and West Side
