So here's a question for the masses...
Does anyone know of an online degree program for technical theatre? Now, I realize that a HUGE portion of learning in this industry involves hands-on experience. I have been in verious scene shops, backstage, and in the booth for the past 15 years now, but never completed the BFA that I began way back when. Fortunately, it hasn't come into too much of an issue...I have been happily employed for more than a decade with no problem. The issue is, I would eventually like to move into the academic world and teach at the HS or college level and need a degree to do so. Getting into a traditional program in the area wouldn't be a problem...however, giving up a salary that goes a long way to supporting my family would. So, does anyone know if there are any programs available, and if they would even be remotely worthwhile?
Cheers.
