Would You Say That to Your Boss?

My expectations for a show are no less than what a professional production person would produce. (more…)

There’s an industry saying that you should say yes to everything and then figure it out later (“fake it til you make it”), but when you only have one shot to make a first impression, is it worth the risk to inflate what you’ve actually done?
