Recently, a chancellor for the university system in the state of Georgia called "drama" the "wrong" major to pursue in college. Suffice it to say, that was a huge lapse in judgement on the chancellor's part. Witness this lovely editorial here. Also witness this badassery. As a graduate of the University of Georgia system with said "wrong" major, I feel the need to defend my course of study a weensie bit. Moreover, I feel the need to give a shout out to a company that I am particularly interested/invested in and rooting for.
Defending live theatre as a profession/resource/valid course of study: http://www.tcg.org/advocacy/impact.cfm
A theatre company that is kicking butt and taking names: http://www.penobscottheatre.org/
And another theatre company nearby that I love beyond all sense and reason: www.improvacadia.com
In short: Go into the arts, if you are so inclined. Dream if you must, because the rest of the world is counting on your vision to pull us through.
