Show Notes
Lauren has many theatre credits including Gypsy, Sister Act, Mamma Mia and 42nd St. After having her daughter, Robyn, she decided to open up the conversation of job sharing and why flexible working can be beneficial for working parents and carers.
This conversation delves into the challenges of parenting and working in the theatre industry, with a focus on job sharing as a solution. Lauren shares her journey to motherhood, the complications she faced during pregnancy, and the experience of returning to work. We discuss the need for openness to change in the theatre industry and explore the impact of rehearsal schedules on childcare, the importance of creating a supportive company culture, and the balancing act of returning to work while raising a family.
