Providing more than just acting classes, a 4-year bachelor’s degree in theater includes courses in all major aspects of performance and production, such as acting, directing, theater history, play writing, production design, costume design, makeup and theater technology. Actors are professional entertainers who play a role in a play, movie, or television show. While many aspiring actors have visions of becoming a star, the day to day grind isn’t quite as glamorous. Actors read at auditions, competing with hundreds or thousands of performers, and many find work behind the scenes as extras or in one-line guest roles.
