Major in VP, Active in Theatre? (UT)

College Majors Music Major

<p>I'm heading towards my freshman year at The University of Texas to study vocal performance at the Butler School. For this, I am thoroughly excited. In the same vein though, I feel like I am abandoning my love for performing in theatre. I'm not interesting in pursuing MT, and neither is my voice (it just doesn't fit MT), right now.</p>

<p>Anyone w/ experience in the UT theatre/music programs who can speak to this would be greatly appreciated, as are all comments and suggestions: Is it viable to pursue a BM while maintaing an active profile, however minor, in the theatre program/stage productions? The department lists courses and such: Non</a> Majors I'm interested in its feasibility.</p>

<p>I'd like to continue taking classes in traditional drama - I'll be taking intro. to theatre and acting for vocal majors in a "4 yr. plan".</p>

<p>Any insight? Once plans become more concrete I may contact the theatre department. Need to get music schedule in order first!</p>

<p>Regardless, I'll be enjoying the productions one way or another! And there is always the option of pursuing roles in community theaters etc.</p>

<p>I wonder if this fits better in the theatre forum... or UT... hrm.</p>

<p>cejaducegu, you might get some insight from posters in the musical theater, theater/drama or even the U Texas forum.</p>

<p>I'll give it a try. It's a good opportunity to correct some grammatical errors and misspellings. :)</p>

<p>Hi! I'm familiar with UT's voice and theatre depts. I would say that you can always be involved outside of school too-- stuff like the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Austin or Dougherty Arts Center. There's TONS of regional and community theatre in Austin! Besides that, I know that there are lots of classes for non-majors in the dept of theatre and dance. check out the course catalog!</p>
