What is your career/major — Page 2

Math major with a theater minor, Masters in Theatre Management. Working as the finance manager for a major nonprofit theatre company in NYC.

I am an anomaly when it comes to nonperformers the theatre industry, in that I actually ended up doing exactly what my degree is in. It seems like everyone I have ever worked with fell into it after studying something else.

Majored in psychology and minored in sociology.

Right now I'm trying to get into advocacy for women's rights!

I've always loved theatre (I went to almost all of my high school productions to watch) but it wasn't until Sweeney Todd came out as a movie (I have an obsession with Helena Bonham Carter) that I really started to get into it. It started out as a musical movie love until Les Mis came out and I discovered actual cast recordings. And then my obsession completely blew up and I've been listening to ONLY cast recordings ever since! It's actually funny because it wasn't until recently that I realized how in love with theatre I was back in high school. I guess I never had an outside form of it to push me more in the direction until I saw Sweeney in theaters.

People always wonder why I love theatre (because I'm in no way part of it except knowing how to play instruments) and I always describe it as "that one art form that touches my soul".

AKa I'm just an obsessed theatre loving audience member.

I am a behavior therapist at an early intervention autism therapy center. Very rewarding job!

My BA is in print journalism (I was in the last class at my university to receive a degree specifically in print journalism three years ago) with a minor in drama.

I work at my local chapter of a national nonprofit (I just started last month) and I will eventually be doing a combination of marketing and administrative work. Right now it's mostly administrative, but it's not our busy season yet. I spent the last three years working as a copy editor at a local newspaper, and the last six months I worked there I was the front page editor.

I did get to review a few shows that came through Providence when I was working for the paper, so that combined my major/minor a bit, and my first internship was at a different theater website, so that was pretty perfect at the time. Eventually I'd love to work at a regional theatre in marketing/publicity, though.

Working on my Theatre Performance Major, with a Minor in Musical Theatre. Adding on a Set Design concentration for my upcoming Sophomore year. Working as host ay my local Mexican restaurant. We got HUGE $3 margaritas for Happy Hour, so come join :) Hoping to get a job designing or performing in any kind of theatre in NYC when I'm done, horrified I won't :)

BS in Computer Science and working as a computer programmer. Love theater, but strictly as an audience member.

If there's one thing I'd recommend to any of you guys still in school and obsessed with theater, it would be to PLEASE PLEASE consider taking a few courses in ANYTHING other than theater while you have the opportunity-- literature, history, sociology, psychology-- anything to make you a more knowledgable human being and a thinking member of the race.

No-one realizes till after graduation that they've let this golden opportunity to widen their minds slip through their fingers while they were busy (like I was) spending every spare minute at the theater arts building.
