<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 letting go of my love for performing in the theatre. I'm not interested 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 for Non</a> Majors. However, 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>
