Rezensionen

'This is a book about money. All actors need some, elusive as it often is in an overcrowded profession, so a book about how to get it and manage could be very useful...Although Sharp is an American with a foot in both performing arts and finance camps, almost everything he says is equally valid in Britain. The principles are universal.' - Susan Elkin, The Stage

'Sharp has provided an accessible and easily readable text for smart beginners... The tone is casual and also comprehensible without becoming too dry or pedantic...I plan to return to it in pieces as I continue to evaluate my own financial life as an artist.' - Natalie Robin, Stage-Directions

"Sharp's dual understanding of both the fields of finance and performance is a benefit to the entertainment professional looking for an entry into the financial markets. He cleanly weaves the worlds of theatrical artistry and monetary sustainability by providing helpful analogies and inspiring anecdotes....The Thriving Artist is likely to stay on my bookshelf, close within reach, for many more years to come. It is a text that will continue to be a practical reference as I navigate through my career and my fiscal explorations." -Krystal Kennel, TDT Fall 2015
