<p>It all really depends on what you want to do, yet I have to agree with MichaelNKat. My D is in musical theater at Uarts and this landed her a summer job with a touring company Duks in Philly which will enable her to make some good money over the summer. It was her acting that got her this job, which she has had 1 year of acting training @ Uarts for.
She also got into 2 professional shows, one which only yields 75 dollars, BUT it is a stepping stone to a future in, as she sees it, in small reperatory companies in Philly with the ultimate goal of broadway, if it works out that way. </p>
<p>My S, on the other hand, went the BA in Theater Arts with an excellent college in the West Coast, called Whitman. He got into UCLA honors, Berkley, etc. yet he chose Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA, an EXCELLENT school and he graduates this year with a BA in Theater Arts, and a minor in English (the double major was SOOOO much work, he just couldn’t do it all), and has an interest in graduate school in directing, yet currently has some prospects but no real work (despite getting almost straight A’s in college. He will graduate suma cum laude) His plans are to do an MA in directing. His appears to be the more practical route, but my D is the one with the actual jobs doing what she LOVES to do. Uarts has made this possible for her.</p>
<pre><code>Good luck whatever you decide to do. Again it’s about what you really want to do with your life. For my D, Uarts has made it possible for her to realize her dream, to study musical theater and develop a career in it, yet be able to get a real job.
