This is my first time using this service...

I need cited facts and 'tid-bits' supporting the idea that real world
experience can give you the edge over your competition in the
entertainment industry - More specifically in live performance.

for example: (this is totally made up) casting directors are 50% more
likely to hire an auditionee with experience in front of an audience.

I'm trying to attract both new college graduates and folks just trying
to make a start in live performance.  I want them to know that working
with me and my company is a good place to start building their resume.

I need facts based on Live Performance roles.

I need as many as you can find.
