(No one should ever be doing theatre for the paycheck, but that’s another issue entirely.)

What makes the blood of most stage performers run cold? Seeing the first audience on opening night? Hearing silence after delivering supposedly hilarious dialogue? Knowing there’s a critic in the house? Well, yes, yes, and yes.
