Careers in Theatre comes in many shapes and sizes. While our Majors and Minors receive an in-depth training and a wide variety of experience in the craft and business of Theatre, we recognize that these skills can transfer to many other disciplines. In addition to your Theatre skills you will receive training in project management, how to be ‘present’ in the room, and how to give a public speech to name a few.
