Starting Out: Andrea Grody ’11

A musical-theater artist, working mostly as a music director on productions in New York. Princeton major: music. 

Duties: Teaches actors the songs, rehearses the band, and makes sure the music supports the director’s vision.

Challenge: “I’m always looking for work,” she says. “Sometimes I don’t know what my next day is going to be until the night before.” 

Tight-Knit: Working on a show means long days, but “it’s such a family environment. That’s why people end up staying in theater.”
