Chris Lose notes the four times he’s taken the exit ramp from a life on the road, only to have once again hit the highway for another tour. As such, he can speak about the pros and cons with the voice of experience. On the up-side: ego gratification and world travel. On the down-side: Being away from family, the 24/7 busy-ness of it all, and eating too much junk food. His advice: “If you are single, hungry to work, travel, and sacrifice, then get out there and see the world from the jump seat. If you have a family and you enjoy stability, structure, and routine, then stay home. Find a local theater, convention center, or venue and be the best in your local area.”
