<p>To clarify about college theatre - it is a bunch of students in a college putting on a show. For the most part, the set is fairly basic, lighting is limited to some 20 fixtures and rehearsal is held nights after class.</p>
<p>I technical directed three shows at Wiess (Urinetown, Hello Hamlet and West Side Story) and had a great time working with the cast and crew. That being said, it is a chance to gain experiences and try something new as well as a chance to do something you really enjoy. It is not structured theatre for the most part. Therefore, if you want to go into musical performing arts as a career, it is not going to help you that much.</p>
