Hi everyone - I have a question. My kiddo is debating between Acting and MT, so I have been following both forums. Something I see a LOT of discussion about on the MT forum is summer stock work during college, but I haven’t seen much of that here. Do BFA acting majors tend to do summer stock? In doing my own research, I see a variety of places with internships, apprenticeships etc, esp for shakespeare companies, is that more common? Just trying to get a sense of how things work, thanks!
There’s a lot more summer stock for MT. Summer Shakespeare programs are definitely a good target for acting students. My son has done two Shakespeare internships during summers off, and he’ll be in the company this summer at one of the theaters where he interned.
My d is interviewing today for a Shakespeare summer stock theater – she is an acting student.
