<p>Excellent feedback. When my son and some of his friends from their PA HS are asked if they are “going to Broadway”, the answer is always, “not until after college”. I think that the 3-5 years of college experience is invaluable for gaining maturity and memories. That is why I am spending the time to research some possibilities for the best fit for him. The more that I read and digest these posts, the more it verifies that pursuing a degree for a profession outside of MT is not the worst idea. If one does a double major BS and BA or just the BS at a school that has a good reputation for a dance program or theatre program, it may satisfy the need for the continued theatre arts training. I understand that Syracuse Univ. has an equity theatre close by and anyone can audition for their productions. Audition, audition, audition is the key and continue to polish your skills. Knowing that he doesn’t want to teach, compose or work back stage necessarily, I think that doing an MFA might be a waste of time and money. This is not easy having a boy who wants a career for providing a living, but is realistic that the theatre arts are no guarantee for a living and doesn’t want to be a 23 or 24 year old unemployed actor. This is all starting to come together with the help of all of you. Thanks</p>
