Based on parallels drawn between fundamental areas of theatre performance and their counterparts in the business world, Living The Dream...The Morning After Drama School - A DIY Guide to the Acting Business offers insights and tools to help current or former drama majors navigate life as highly capable actors trying to put together a living from a variety of income streams. It also exposes them to creative ways of considering their career options that may give them much more hope than they thought possible. In this way, a world that is foreign and overwhelming to many aspiring professional actors is brought easily and clearly into their comfort zone, equipping them for their quest to build a life doing what they love.

David Alford and Brian Horner draw from the experience of their lengthy, multi-faceted careers - Alford as a stage, television, and film actor, teacher, and arts administrator, and Horner as a saxophonist, teacher, and artist manager - and share that experience with those just starting out.
