An Actor Prepares to Live in New York City: How to Live Like a Star Before You Become One

(Limelight). A guide for actors, and everyone else, to getting the best for less and surviving, thriving and living
the good life in the Big Apple. Here is the ultimate guidebook for the hordes of aspiring young performers who
arrive in the Big City determined to climb the ladder to stardom. But the purpose of Craig Wroe, an actor himself,
is not to provide instruction on how to refine acting, singing or dancing talents or how to land a job in the
chorus of The Producers . Plenty of other books do that. His aim is far broader to help you survive in the
crowded, frantic, expensive maelstrom that is New York. From finding a decent, reasonably inexpensive place to live
to finding competent, reasonably inexpensive dental care, from getting computer training to organize your
day-to-day existence to joining a gym to harden your body, from eating well to dressing better all on a tight
budget there is virtually no aspect of life in New York that is not covered in this book. And it not only names
names; it gives addresses and phone numbers as well. And keep in mind that newly-arrived lawyers, accountants,
models, writers you name them need these things too.
