#SOBLESSED The Annoying Actor Friend's Guide to Werking in Show Business

Ten actors read and perform short skits about getting an education in acting, and then a job in the field. Mimicking advice columnists, these actors tell it like it is for actors and wannabe actors. Using show-biz slang and lots of swearing, each actor has his or her own skit, ranging from "Are You Blessed?" and "What Do You Do With a BFA in Theater?" to "On the Road" and "Curtain Call." Listeners will laugh and cry when they learn how much work and luck go into the profession. The production is great if you enjoy schtick, tongue-in-cheek comedy, and a good dose of black humor.
