The University of Findlay Theatre Program prepares graduates for work in professional theatre.

80 percent of graduates are working in the professional theatre. In Ohio, our graduates are working for  CATCO, Columbus Children’s Theatre, Tecumseh!, and Huron Playhouse. Nationally, our graduates are working for  Screen Actors Guild, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Roundabout Theatre Company, New York Public Theatre, Theatreworks/USA, Chicago's Second City, and have been seen on television shows such as Numb3ers, Law and Order and All My Children, among others.

Graduates with an emphasis in  Production Design and Technology, or even simply an interest in technical theatre are likely to be in demand, particularly because they've developed skills in scenery, lighting, costumes, and sound. Still others find a satisfactory life in the business side of theatre, as box office managers, publicity directors, producers, agents and casting directors. Our Multi-Age Drama/Theatre Education majors are well-equipped to teach children from early childhood through high school.  Opportunities are available as well in the mass media of television and film - opportunities for which theatre majors are well suited.

Theatre prepares you for other jobs, too.

Theatre graduates report that their experiences provide exceptional preparation in demanding responsibility, cooperation, and the ability to think and act quickly.  Virtually all theatre majors indicate that their greatest satisfaction comes from their work, whether in professional, regional or community theatre. 

Theatre is not merely a preparation for a career, it's fine preparation for life!
