What education and experience requirements are there for basic backstage theatre/entertainment jobs (ie. prop assistant, set assistant, PA, set painter, etc.)?
No offense to any of those jobs -- I'm currently in a remedial school and not very confident about graduating, let alone any type of college. Not exactly in the spot to pay for certifications either. Do I need a diploma or training to compete for those jobs, or do I have a chance at a local theater/low-budget production? Is volunteering at a local theater worth my time currently, or should I just focus on school?

What are Some Careers in Theatre?
I'm majoring technical theatre and design in college, which is my passion. I'd like to know what my options are, for a career. I do scenic design, but it isn't what I'd want to spend my life doing. I like the idea of having a higher position in the performing theatre. Perhaps, overseeing the designs done by the costuming, lighting, and scenic designers. I want something more overall that pertains to the entire field itself. #theatre #theatrical-production #set-design #construction-set-building #technical-design #stage-lighting #costume-design #costumer #production

What advice would you give a theater major who isn't quite sure where they want to put most of their focus, i.e. acting, costume design, stage design, etc...?
I'm very passionate about theater and love ever aspect of it from cutting scripts to lighting to being the star of the show. I just don't know what I want to be my primary focus in order for me to start focusing my education and training on what I want to do for the rest of my life in the world of theater. #theatre #theater #set-design #costume-design

Advice for someone interested in set design?
I am interested in set design and was wondering if someone could give me some advice. Either some books or videos you'd recommend. Also, if you know any set designers that I should look into, because I only know what I've learned from a few basic theatre classes. Thanks! #theatre #theater #set-design #set
