Making half size corsets for our half size dress forms is as bad as making dolls clothes. Yuck!

Not all roles on tour are equal—and that’s not a bad thing, it’s just the truth.

Some of us stand with the artist in the heat of the moment, where one mistake can stop the show and thousands notice. That pressure is real. It’s public. Sometimes it’s getting yelled at mid-show. Sometimes it’s fixing the unfixable in real time, under a spotlight. Managing that pressure is part of the gig for many.

Others keep things running behind the scenes—driving overnight, building rigs before sunrise, managing the artist’s needs offstage. That weight is real too.

There’s this idea that if you’re on stage, you must be having fun. But for the people making it happen, it’s not play—it’s pressure, precision, and performance under scrutiny.

Touring isn’t “just touring.” Everyone’s role is different.

And many of these are high-skill, high-stakes jobs that you’re hired to do. It doesn’t matter how it compares to other fields or careers. In that moment, you’re expected to show up and execute—flawlessly—because that’s what the show demands.

The truth is, the intensity becomes addictive. That night-after-night adrenaline becomes your baseline. But when it ends, real life doesn’t match that charge—and the crash can hit hard.

This isn’t about who’s tougher. Most of us know what it’s like to be far from home, missing loved ones, or sitting in a dark emotional place with no support—on top of the relentless pressure of the show. Or maybe your life is perfect. But for most of us, it’s not.

And for those saying, “Just step aside and let someone else do it”—I’ve seen that over several decades. Many try. Many get fired. These aren’t just gigs. They require precision, pressure management, emotional control, and deep technical skill.

Acknowledging your mental health doesn’t make you weak. It makes you more reliable, more sustainable, and more trustworthy than someone silently unraveling—or drinking it away. Strength is staying in the game without self-destructing.

Because we all keep the show going. But we don’t all carry the same weight, in the same way, at the same time.

And that deserves more understanding—and a whole lot more respect.

Having a bit of fun in the costume shop today. Tie-dying some dresses for a charity. And, of course, a shirt for myself.

We've been celebrating the anniversary of MacGyver today and thought we'd finish off with some words of Mac-wisdom put together by our forum member, Amy.
