Description

Here is the ultimate guidebook for the hordes of aspiring young performers who arrive in the Big City determined to climb the ladder to stardom. But the purpose of Craig Wroe, an actor himself, is not to provide instruction on how to refine acting, singing or dancing talents or how to land a job in the chorus of The Producers. Plenty of other books do that. His aim is far broader -- to help you survive in the crowded, frantic, expensive maelstrom that is New York. From finding a decent, reasonably inexpensive place to live to finding competent, reasonably inexpensive dental care, from getting computer training to organise your day-to-day existence to joining a gym to harden your body, from eating well to dressing better -- all on a tight budget -- there is virtually no aspect of life in New York that is not covered in this book. And it not only names names; it gives addresses and phone numbers as well. And keep in mind that newly-arrived lawyers, accountants, models, writers -- you name them -- need these things too.

Author Biography:

Craig Wroe is an actor, writer and teacher who has lived in New York City since 1984. His acting credits include appearances on London's West End and the Bristol Old Vic, off- and off-off-Broadway, film, television, commercials, industrials and several leading regional theatres. As a teacher, Craig lectures on acting and "the business" at colleges and universities throughout the country and is on the faculty of New York's School for Film and Television.
