Apply your skills in any job
As a graduate of the Theatre Arts program, you've gained skills that will serve you well on and off the stage. You've learned how to work collaboratively with large groups and small, to accept feedback, to think critically about your performances, to speak confidently in front of large groups and to manage time. You know how to connect with colleagues—and audiences. As an actor taking on different roles, you've developed your ability to understand and empathize with others. These skills are invaluable in the workplace, no matter where your career path takes you.
