Is it detrimental being a bass?

Hi everyone. I’m a sophomore in high school with an interest of majoring in musical theatre (or acting) in college. I’ve been taking voice lessons for a little less than a yeaer and I think that my voice is has come a long way and will continue to get better. Here’s my problem. I have a strong bass voice and can go very low (C2 or below). I think that my lower range is very resonant and rich. However, my upper register is a little less solid at the moment. I really can’t go that high at all (to be specific, to about E or Eb4), and this greatly limits the range of musical characters that I am able to play. I’m really interested in getting just a few more notes in my upper register, but I know that that really isn’t something I can just will myself to. My question is, Would it not be worth it to major in musical theatre considering my range? Thanks
