About this listen

Acting wasn’t always a respected profession—it started in the streets, in royal courts, and on makeshift stages. In this episode, we explore the fascinating journey of how acting evolved from wandering performers and traveling troupes into a full-fledged profession. From the rise of Shakespeare’s acting company to the establishment of the first professional theaters, we uncover how actors fought for legitimacy, financial stability, and artistic recognition. If you’ve ever wondered how acting transformed from a side hustle to a celebrated career, this episode is for you.
