[title]It’s hard to track down exact numbers, but every year there must be thousands of young actors, playwrights, designers, producers and directors who come to the city or graduate from training programs with an eye to a career on the stage. Everyone knows it’s tough to make a living in New York theater: Expect to spend years supplementing your income with temp work, internships, or playing a corpse on Law & Order or CSI. But if you’re good and you keep at it, you could find yourself with steady work on the city’s many stages, on Broadway and Off Broadway. Here, we salute a few of our favorite troupers and living legends, such as Stephen Sondheim. Actors, conductors, writers, producers and countless other professionals make New York theater the greatest in the world.
