THE ARTICLESGiving a voice to the industry

TheatreArtLife.com features articles written by leading industry professionals.

From theatre, concerts, circus and mega shows, to cruise ships, theme parks,

touring productions, ceremonies and events, our contributors work in all areas of

live entertainment world-wide. The articles encompass performance, technology,

management, administration, cultures and industry roles as our contributors share

experiences, opinions, work methods, new technology and advice.

We group articles into four main categories to represent the perspective from

which they are written.

• On The Move articles involve touring shows like musicals, plays,

concerts, festivals and traveling circus

• Staying Still articles signify working with long term shows in singular

locations like on Broadway and the West End

• One & Done articles involve short term projects with one or only a few

performances like ceremonies, conventions and sporting events.

• Lifestyle articles express industry life behind the scenes written about topics

like healthcare, nutrition, exercise, psychology and parenting.

To drive development in the industry, ideas and experiences must be shared. Our

articles give a voice to the industry and start conversations. Every article includes

live links to every contributors’ website and social media accounts to ignite

connections within the industry.
