<p>Dear All,</p>

<p>Happychild is interested in Theater Technology - specifically lighting design. A local community college offers a one year IATSE approved Apprenticeship Program that leads directly to membership in the union. The closest public university offers BFA/BA in Theater with an option to do a Theater Tech concentration.</p>

<p>Please advise.</p>

<p>My son is going to DePaul’s theater school, so far likes it alot. Conservatory approach, so he is immediately working in the theatre. They offer 6 tech majors, including lighting design and theater tech, so they are not just concentrations. In Chicago, so lots of theater connections.</p>
