Like many Cal Poly students past and present, you will find that a variety of career opportunities present themselves through our courses.
Performance is only one aspect.
Personally and financially rewarding career areas include theatre management, theatre architecture and design, public relations, journalism, electrical and lighting design, sound, costume and set design. Theatre uses skilled craftspeople in almost every area. People with sound business skills are needed to run theatres, manage box offices and payrolls, and deal with unions and contracts. Careers in dance include teacher, performer, choreographer, therapist, and recreational leader, among others. Theatre and Dance training can be utilized in radio, television, film, theme parks, recreation administration, and industrial entertainment.
