Publisher's Synopsis
A guide for actors and everyone else to getting the best for less and surviving thriving and living the good life in the Big Apple. 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 ÊThe ProducersÊ. Plenty of other books do that. His aim is far broader ä 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 organize your day-to-day existence to joining a gym to harden your body from eating well to dressing better ä all on a tight budget ä 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 writersäyou name themäneed these things too.
