SM Grad School? Yes or No
« on: Jul 30, 2009, 06:43 pm »
I'm going to be graduating from Texas Christian University this next year so I have been thinking about what is coming next and I have decided that I am just going to apply for everything I can and see what happens.  But when I started thinking about grad school I wasn't sure.

What do you think?  Do you think it is greatly beneficial to go to grad school for stage management?  Also, if you do, what are some schools with good programs to look into?

It is the right thing for some people and the wrong thing for some.  It was the right thing for me- I go to Rutgers, Mason Gross School of the Arts.

But- I would suggest getting some experience working before returning to grad school.  Take a couple of years and during that time you can decide if grad school is the thing for you or not.  You will know if it is the right thing by whether you think you have the skills to do your job well and whether you have the connections to allow your career to proceed in the way that you want it to.
