“Looking back on my childhood, I can’t blame younger me for not knowing what professional roles exist in the musical theater industry and how I might find my place among them. I have since come to understand that the lack of visibility and access to these jobs is one of the many contributing factors that keep women from occupying as many professional roles in music as men. We can’t expect young women and non-binary musicians to feel comfortable pursuing lesser-known jobs in the music industry if the doors are kept closed by those who presently inhabit these spaces.”
