“Sometimes it’s worth spending a little more to make sure you’re enjoying your life on the road”

We asked actor to share five things he thinks are worth spending money on while on tour.

Jarryd is currently starring in the UK tour of Jersey Boys, travelling across the country and balancing life on the road.

We know that life as an actor or stage manager can be financially challenging. Alongside Jarryd’s tips, we’d encourage you to explore support from , which provides a holistic financial wellbeing service through advice, casework and practical implementation support.

Actors’ Trust can refer actors and stage management professionals to Pennysmart for tailored support.

A shout out to for inspiring this Reel. We loved your tips too! 💙

Our next wellbeing webinar is coming up on August 24th and we are delighted to be collaborating with P**A (Parents and Carers in Performing Arts) for a session on caring responsibilities.

Having a caring responsibility, be it for a child or loved one can have a direct impact on your own work and health. Managing schedules, appointments, your caring responsibilities plus a career that is possibly precarious or freelance is a lot for any one person to manage.

Many people working in our industry are juggling being a parent and acting or stage management jobs.

This session with dramatherapist Heather Turkington and P**A (Parents and Carers in the Performing Arts) will look at:

🧡Taking care of yourself when caring for your loved ones
⚖️Managing your career and caring responsibilities
🫂Support available in and outside the industry
🧑‍🧒‍🧒P**A partner organisations that are working to integrate caring into working in performing arts
🙋🏻Time for reflection, comments and questions

Date: 24th August
Time: 10 AM - 11:15 AM

"I chose to ignore my body's signals in favour of this thing I wanted so badly"

Like Lena Dunham describes, for many in our industry, the pursuit of a role or contract can come at a personal cost.

That's why access to mental health, wellbeing, and financial support is so important.

We understand the challenges you face, the pressure on your physical and mental health, and we're here to help ❤️

Over the summer holidays, parents face additional costs such as uniforms & other school essentials.

This is why we have introduced a School Essentials Grant for Summer 2026.

Actors and stage management can apply for a one-off grant to help with these costs and make the summer period a little bit easier.

With multiple Oscar nominations and widespread acclaim for her performance in Christopher Nolan's latest blockbuster, you might assume Samantha's next role was guaranteed.

With the right support, balancing family life and a career in the performing arts can feel more manageable 💙

In her recent Spotlight article, Actor Raychel Addo shares her experience of navigating the performing arts industry as a parent and the challenges that can come with balancing both roles.

We understand that parents and carers can face additional costs during the summer holidays, and we're here to help.

This summer, Actors and stage managers can apply for a one-off grant to help cover these expenses and make the summer period a little easier.

Because your role as a parent or carer, alongside your career in the performing arts, should feel possible, not overwhelming.
