Sooner or later, it happens to everyone. Sometimes
it happens regularly. There comes a time in virtually every performing
artist's career when, for one reason or another, everything seems to come
to a screeching halt and you're in the doldrums. There just isn't any

a transition period because of your age (like going from ingenue to leading

as "between engagements" can be challenging to cope with. Being
unemployed in any career is hard enough. But being an unemployed performer

it can be a challenge not to take it personally.
