Perhaps you are considering studying theatre because you have a passion to become an artist. You love working on productions, love watching and reading plays, love performing or sketching or writing or creating. Theatre brings you joy.

However, studying theatre will provide you with knowledge that can be applied to a multitude of fields… teaching, public relations, business, law, social work, the ministry, and scholarly research among others.

Read the following article and find a discussion of twenty-five skills theatre majors develop (that most other college graduates do not.) When your parents, relatives or friends question your decision to study theatre and wonder how you’ll be able to get a job, you’ll have plenty to tell them!
