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

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

Plenty of other books do that

His aim is far broader - to help you survive

To 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 ...
