I Don’t Know How They Do It! lifts the curtain on the often invisible caregiving labor that many artists do to support their families and their artistic practices. Each month, we publish a week in the life of a theatre professional with caregiving responsibilities. In the variety of caregiving and artistic perspectives captured—from young children to elderly parents, from tech week to school vacation week—I Don’t Know How They Do It! makes visible the range and experience of the caregiving artists working in theatre today. We hope to foster solidarity among artist caregivers, inspire advocacy toward a field where all artist caregivers are embraced in their fullness, and celebrate the hard work that makes the rest of us say “I don’t know how they do it!"
