This helps to make them more marketable and appealing to employers and graduate schools. It also leads to a greater understanding of the work being done by those around you.

Our alumni have found success in a variety of theatrical endeavors as well as other fields. The best advice for aspiring theatre artists is that it is never too early to start your career. Our students are strongly encouraged to audition for and attend the Southeastern Theatre Conference every year in order to begin building a network of contacts and a good reputation for themselves. It is never too early!
