Hm. Don’t like that.
#reading an unfinished manuscript of a memoir of working in the theatre in the 1910s#this man (boy he was 16-18 years old when this happened this BOY)#was clearly taken advantage of by this prominent producer#it’s not written in a way that explicitly says it but it’s making me sick to my stomach#because it aligns with similar incidences#and one quick google search told me that said producer likely did the same thing with a number of boys/young men#and this is the 1900s-1910s#so#same shit different year#and the other thing is I know exactly what it was like#i remember this kind of shit happening#it happened to me#not in exactly the same way#but in all the ways that matter#and this my friends is why AEA is important#because guess what this memoir also includes the 1919 actors strike#past life#what do you do with a ba in theatre#museum musings
