-: I believe for specifically for what I'm doing
for
for passing on musical theater,
which really, you know, you have to be able to
be a triple threat, to be an excellent actor,
an excellent singer, and an excellent dancer.
So that takes a lot of training.
As far as what you need to get a job like this,
I think specifically for musical theater,
it's you need experience doing it.
And I think that it has to be the balance
of a degree of your undergraduate
and probably an MA or an MFA.
Although for musical theater now programs are
looking at what professional experience have you had.
And they will now accept sometimes a position,
a person for my position with a bachelor's
who have major professional credits.
That's rare,
but the only way that would ever happen
is going out and having 20, 25 years of experience
working in the Broadway community, working in film.
But I believe when we do a job search
we're looking for both.
We have to have the education,
the ability to be a great teacher,
and an effective teacher,
and also to have worked professionally in the business.
That's where
musical theater programs across the country are going now.
Where you really have to have that experience
to be able to pass that on in a hands-on real way.
