So I decided to compromise, while getting my basics I will get a degree in theatre then I will go on to law school.
While this will prepare you to become an entertainment lawyer, take a job with Equity, or work in a producer's office, I'm not sure that a law degree would be especially useful or practical for someone hoping to go into the more hands-on side of theatre.
It is generally true that your BA doesn't matter terribly much (there are SMs who have undergrad and even master's degrees in everything from botany to sign language), it must be understood that undergraduate and graduate (especially terminal) degrees are different kettles of fish. Undergrad degrees tend to emphasize soft skills (effective communication, co-operation with others, basic research, time management, etc.), usually include significant general education and breadth components (much to the chagrin of undergrads!), and (outside of laboratory science) rarely go into subjects at such depth that the skills you acquire aren't transferable to other fields. Grad degrees, on the other hand, (and law school is a grad degree) teach you tons and tons and tons about a very specific subject, and not much else. A MA in Philosophy will teach you tons and tons about specific philosophers and specific approaches to philosophy, but as the knowledge becomes more specific, it also becomes less transferable. (You can transfer basic research skills to almost any field. It's more difficult to transfer memorization of Aristotle, or a thorough understanding of Victorian empiricism, or a novel approach to existential metaphysics, or whatever else.)
That's not to say that grad degrees are useless or will never transfer to theatre. Some of them might be very handy: an education degree (especially if you're going into theatre for young people), a history degree, an MFA, and so on could be quite useful. Law is probably not in this category.
The thing with law school is that not only will it take you out of theatre for several years (there just aren't enough hours in the day, especially if you're going the whole hog and intend to sit the bar exam and become a lawyer rather than simply take your degree and run), law school is a high-level vocational program--and a very expensive and demanding program at that. There isn't much transference of skill between theatrical and legal work (outside of those niches of entertainment law and production office and union work), and considering how difficult and demanding law programs are, there's almost certainly a better use for your time and money.
If your heart isn't utterly set on becoming a lawyer, things become more workable. There are jobs which require (or strongly emphasize possession of) a law degree but which don't expect you to have sat the bar exam and are essentially 9-5 gigs (law librarian, for example), and these jobs are no less compatible with theatre than any other 9-5 job--but even then, we're talking about amdram or lower-level professional theatre.
One other thought: the world is full of people who thought they were supposed to be something, but who turned into something completely different. Becoming a lawyer because you've always felt that you "should" be one is a poor reason. That's not to say that you personally would be a bad lawyer, but consider that
the legal job market is looking worse and worse, it is increasingly the case that
even criminal lawyers never see the inside of courtrooms,
over 50% of law school grads have at least six figures worth of debt (and these are the people who go on to become lawyers, as opposed to theatre artists who typically earn much less), and so on.
Do some research and determine what you want to do, basically. Don't be guided by feelings and inklings and birthrights. Look into what you want to be doing, what you're prepared to sacrifice and give up to get there, and be realistic about your own abilities and expectations. (Consider that nobody ever intends to graduate at the bottom of their class, or drop out of school because their debt load climbs too high, or get an F in a key course, or whatever else. Bad things happen to good people, and if you're already stretching yourself to your very limits just to keep up with a life plan [especially a life plan you've undertaken for whimsical rather than practical reasons], you're leaving yourself very little wiggle-room if that plan should fall through.)
