Preparing For College Theatre: A Guide For Performers, Technicians, and Designers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578670621)

Preparing For College Theatre is a go-to resource for any young practitioner, taking you from researching programs to the audition/interview process to navigating a new lifestyle to life after college graduation. This book offers first-hand guidance to young theatre practitioners who are planning to study their craft beyond high school. No single mentor, educator, or practitioner has the 'correct answer' nor is any single answer right for everyone. This book examines and recounts first-hand experiences, perspectives, and advice compiled from interviews with hundreds of current college students and recent graduates.

"This book is jammed with essential information, anecdotes, and facts about higher education in the theatre disciplines. It's most important feature, however, is that it asks many questions that potential students must ask themselves before identifying the school that's right for their academic goals and professional aspirations. It sets the student up for success by expecting them to think it through."-Gregg Henry, Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Artistic Director

"At the California Department of Education, supporting students transitioning from high school to post-secondary education can be a challenge, especially in the arts. This book provides guidance and support for emerging theatre professionals as they transition from high school to the next level of discovery and creativity. Learning is a journey and this book is an essential guidepost for high school theatre students and educators."-Jack E. Mitchell, Visual and Performing Arts Programs Consultant, CA Department of Education
