Thanks so much for the input everyone!  I got an e-mail back in response to my letter, and I'm going to shadow during Wicked next week!  I figured it would be a good show for me to do, since I've seen it before and practically know it by heart (I'm also a huge fan of the show).
I am definately not trying to get a job (I'm still in High School!) or "get a free ticket," especially since I had already bought tickets for the week after.  But I thought, since I already know what it looks and sounds like, I'll be able to pay more attention to the tech stuff and to what is going on backstage.
I'm really excited!

College and Graduate Studies / BA/BFA
« on: Dec 04, 2007, 01:17 am »
I know there have been discussions on here about whether people liked a BA or BFA program better, but what is the difference between the two?  A couple of the colleges I've looked at so far seem to have similar programs, but one offers a BA and another offers a BFA.  Is it just how many general courses you take?

College and Graduate Studies / colleges?

I'm in my senior year of high school in St. Louis, and trying to decide about college for next year.  I know I want to do theatre (probably against the better judgement of my parents and myself), and maybe specifically in Stage Management.  I know a bit about Webster, and have heard both good and bad about it, but am slightly intimidated by the conservatory-type program.  I have also looked into Missouri State and Milliken, but haven't really heard of anywhere else.  I would like to stay in the Missouri-Illinois area, mostly for financial reasons, but am completely clueless about schools that REALLY do have good programs.  I don't really know of anything else (non-theatrey) that I would major in, but would still like to get a well-rounded education.  Any suggestions, opinions, comments, etc...?

And, for my parents' sake, to ease their fears a bit, is this really something you can make a living at?

I'm a senior in high school, thinking about Webster next year, and its nice that it's 20 minutes from my house.  It's GREAT to hear the 2 Webster students say good things about it, because the people I go to school with now seem to think it's overrated.  I have yet to go on an "official" visit, but hopefully that'll be happening sometime soon.  It's a bit intimidating that it's a conservatory and so competitive, but it really is something that I'm interested in.  I know 2 people who are freshmen this year, but they're in the acting program.

Students and Novice Stage Managers / Shadowing: General Q&A
« on: Nov 24, 2007, 04:07 pm »
Hello, I am a high school senior from St. Louis, and would like to pursue a career in theatre, and have been thinking seriously about stage management.  Someone recently told me that I can write a letter to the stage manager of a Broadway Tour and they will let you sit backstage with them during a performance. 
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to do this?  Or, has anyone ever done anything like this?  I think this would be a great experience for me to see what a "real" SM does, but am uncertain about how to ask.
