'Breaking In' shows what it's really like backstage at New York Fringe Theatre.

For my generation of actors, it was about the theatre. Television didn't exist. Coaxial cable didn't exist.

My whole family is very artistic - my uncles are all actors and theatre directors.

I tried to start a theatre in LA and failed miserably, but I was probably not meant to raise money.

I learnt a thing or two about acting from theatre actor Robin Das who is from Odisha.

I think I wanted to do something that retained the improvised chaos of 'Mamma Mia' the theatre show which set it apart from all the slick packaged productions.

I wound up graduating from the Los Angeles County School for the Arts as a theatre major and then was honored to be accepted into Carnegie Mellon's Musical Theatre program.

My college training was primarily in theatre, with an eye to becoming a director, actor, or producer.

When I had started commuting into London for theatre school, I'd had to sell my uncle's stamp collection for ?300.

It was in England that I discovered theatre. I didn't have any money, but I would just eat yoghurt in order to get some money for tickets.

Then I left school at 16 and worked in Perth Repertory Theatre, which was quite nearby where I lived. And I worked there for about six or seven months, as part of the stage crew.

I did fringe theatre for so many years, and then I got my first play at the RSC, which was an amazing feeling, but I was 30 and had started acting in my early twenties.

I went to the University of Michigan and have a BFA in Musical Theatre.

I realized I really enjoyed theatre, so I did shows up in Seattle like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Lost in Yonkers.'

I am a nationalist... my native soil is the theatre.

Theatre taught me to convert a scene into a vision.

My mum raised us on classic movies and a lot of musical theatre.

I said I would like to do some theatre, so people started searching for some jobs for me, and I didn't think it would be the lead role in 'Equus.'

I've come from theatre and you have different productions of a text in theatre. It's not unusual.

I'm at the National Theatre School, which is like the Juilliard of Canada.
