I agree @VoiceTeacher. I completely understand a parents’s hesitation to allow their child to get a degree in something many seem frivolous and risky. But performers do very well in many fields both inside and outside the arts. They are terrific at giving business presentations, in marketing, as teachers, presenting a case as trial attorneys - anything where you need to be in front of other people. They are naturals. Having an undergraduate degree in theater to me is no different than the student who gets an undergrad degree in economics, political science, English or any other general major. I know economics majors who are now dentists, dance majors who are lawyers anthropology majors who are business executives so it stands to reason a theatre major can be anything they want to be down the road too. A theatre undergraduate degree will still allow you to pursue other fields if you have a change of heart. You still have a college degree. College is a time to study what interests you. To explore different subjects and paths. Pursue what truly makes you happy. Find what inspires and excites you. If that is theatre, delve into it. Study hard. See if it is your life path. Get that undergraduate degree. If ultimately theater is not what you decide to do as a profession, you still have your whole life ahead of you after you graduate. The doors are just beginning to open. And theater is a great preparation for the professional world no matter what your career ends up to be.
