Technical Theatre major leading to Live Event Production career?

<p>I wouldn’t necessarily look to any school for the experience you are looking for. I know quite a few people who work in touring that never went to college. For them, it was a matter of moving to a city where tours (rock/music) originate like Dallas or Los Angeles. In those cities there are going to be lighting production companies. They supply all the rental gear and many times they will take their own people on the road. The way to meet those people is to work in their shop as warehouse labor. You will get to know the gear very well and a bright young person should be able to work their way up the ladder and meet the right people to get on the road. This is not a fast track by any means. It may take years to make the right connections but then again it might not, depending on who you impress. People filling tour positions are not always going to be impressed with your degree. It’s all about technical knowledge, work ethic and most importantly your PERSONALITY. Good luck.</p>
