As an acting student living in one of the greatest cities in the world for art and entertainment, it is tempting to spend every last dime on going to see shows and attending events. In reality though on a college student’s budget, you have to really pick and choose what shows you are willing to spend your money on. Since living here though I have been exposed to the many resources we have in this amazing city to make live theatre more easily accessible on a budget.
