Tips about this business (6) view all

It's Union: Gorilla Theatre is the only "Equity" theater in Tampa, which means that it's governed by the rules of a theater union (ensuring that performing artists are treated well and paid decently). As a result, even the bad pays here tend to draw good actors.
