I have been doing a series on side hustles, because people don’t talk about how much an actor’s salary can fluctuate. There could be one great year, and then a few years where you barely make money acting. That’s normal. This week we have Katie Webber and David Josefsberg - actors who between the two of them have been in over 20 Broadway shows! They both found side hustles they love that work around their audition schedules AND tap into their other talents and creativity.
Learn more about Katie, her favorite recipes, and her cookbooks at katiewebbernyc.com. Follow her on Instagram @katiewebbernyc.
