-: My name is Ashlee Hartwig,
and I work as the marketing director
for the Duluth Playhouse, a semi-professional community
theater here in Duluth, Minnesota.
Some sort of theater background is definitely helpful.
I'm not saying you necessarily
have to be a performance major,
but even a Bachelor of Arts in Theater,
or Music even, so you understand
the workings of a theater.
You know what's happening backstage.
You know what's happening in the front of the house.
You know what's happening during rehearsals.
Just so you can understand that process as a whole
versus just one piece of it,
performance versus design, for example.
I would say definitely marketing would be a good one.
I was a journalism major.
I was a double major, theater and journalism.
