Hello All!
I am currently a technical director for an 800 seat auditorium. My auditorium is connected with a high school and the stage crew I am in charge of is made up of students and they work all rental, professional and school district events with me.
Here's my question - While I have nearly 20 years of experience in theater, I do not have a formal degree in technical theater. I studied tech. theater for a year and a half and have attended a few conferences/workshops over the years. Should I pursue a degree in tech theater or just go along as I have been? Eventually I would like to move into a facility director position but until then I would like to build my skills as a T.D. Any advice?
Thanks!
