A young thespian moves to New York City to start a theatre company and maybe have some adventures. His efforts are rewarded with a roller coaster ride of triumphs and tribulations. New York at the turn of the millennia provides the backdrop for this funny and poignant portrait of a struggling artist who recounts his adventures while shedding some light on the mechanics of self-producing--not just theatre--but one's youth. Full of crazy adventures and cautionary tales, On Making Off is a must read for anyone who's ever wanted to move to the big city. It's a fast-paced memoir cast with crazy twenty-something artists making theatre, and the most of their youth, in the bowels of the Big Apple.
