Career Opportunities
Professional theatre and dance are very competitive areas especially for performers.
Nevertheless, our graduates have more than held their own as actors and dancers in
the professional world. As designers, production specialists, and managers, our students
have readily found career opportunities. The rapid expansion in web-based production
promises even more opportunity in the field.
Graduates have also found successful careers in related fields such as radio and television,
journalism, rock performances, and touring productions. Many graduates teach in high
schools, community colleges, and universities. Several former students have found
their theatre training as an asset in such careers as law, theology, and politics.
