Theater
& Dance and Performing Arts Alumni
Have You Heard? In June 2009, Andrew Will '04 stopped by during alumni weekend and updated us on some exciting news. He is working for the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston as the House Audio Engineer. He has also applied to Boston University for their Sound Design M.F.A. program. Missed someone's news from the past? Click here for the "Have You Heard?" archives. What Can You Do with a Degree in Theater & Dance? Far too often, collegiate degrees are equated with a mythical key to jobs in a directly related field. Any degree is better thought of as a path to elevated thinking. Albert Einstein summed it up best when he said "The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks."* Many of our majors and minors go on to acting/directing, dance/choreography, and design/production careers or to similar graduate programs. All of our graduates apply the critical thinking that develops from a study of the arts towards their chosen careers (along with "the show must go on" dedication and discipline), no matter whether their chosen profession is closely allied to theater & dance or not. Here is a partial list of ways that former students are applying their theater & dance education in their post-Colby lives: acting, dancing, design, directing for television commercials, Director of Communications, graduate school, interactive media and advertising development, internship, literary management, nursing, photography, playwrighting, Producer, production management, Research Technician, stage management, teaching, technical production, touring children's theater, and writing. *Quote taken from Einstein: His Life and Times by Philipp Frank.
