I hope you had a safe and enjoyable holiday season! The holidays can certainly bring a lot of stress and heartache, and I know that for many it is not a jolly time, but if you’re reading this it means you’re here and that is something to celebrate.

Now that 2022 is underway, I’m looking forward to what Theatrik is planning for the year. First, I am pleased to announce that our LED Light Kits are back in stock. I also look forward to launching new products soon (here’s a hint: one of them will make your self-tapes **sound** much clearer). New plays will soon be added to our Plays and Books Collection, and you can expect more blog posts featuring self-tape how-tos, industry interviews and other actor-centric content.

Finally, I want to acknowledge the passing of some extraordinary artists: Betty White, Sidney Poitier, Bob Saget, André Leon Talley, Ronnie Spector…the collective sadness we have felt over losing these incredible talents only amplifies the importance of the arts in our lives. Artists bring us together to share in the human experience. They bring us laughter, healing, escapism; they make us think, reflect on the past and ignite hope for the future. It’s important to remember their contributions as a reminder to ourselves of why it is we do what we do. In an industry filled with rejection, frustration and self-doubt, it’s easy to lose your confidence and drive. But remember this: someone out there needs you to keep going.

Keep going.
