Question by Jen: Whats the best way to pursue musical theatre career with education?
I am a sophomore in college, training in music dance theater. I have done community theater and teach theater up in anticipation of now. But have yet to do a paid show. When I graduate, or before if I should be responsibility something now to prepare, where should I go and what should I do to work my way up into more prestigious regional theater? And will it be too late to start then? When I am 22? Please help!

You are definately not too ancient! The best advice I have is: go where the money is. L.A., New York, Chicago. Crash Equity auditions (find them online at www.playbill.com). They have a sign up sheet for nonEquity and if they have time, they go in order of the list, so get there extra early to sign up. Don’t give up!

Try and get some summer stock experience… go to regional auditions like SETC or Midwest Theatre Conference, etc.
You can gain some professional experience and make some excellent contacts that can help you out with you graduate.
I have two excellent friends of mine who did national tours right with graduation working with theatres they auditioned for at these types of auditions.
