Putting up your own work is the most empowering endeavour an actor can pursue. Not only does it give you agency, it gives you greater insight into how the theatre industry works, and diversifies your skills as an artist. In this industry, action is always better than inaction, and people will take notice of your proactive attitude. The simple act of pulling a show together and putting yourself out there will give you a reputation of someone that gets things done, someone that is passionate about the art form, and stop you from being “just another actor”.
