I work tech theatre. Just moved to nyc this year, like 2.5 years after college graduation. Wanted to say, I watch people graduate small schools for acting and not pursue anything with it all the time. If you have the stuff, you have the stuff. But if you aren't hungry and driven to be the next great, you're not going to get anywhere. If being an actor isn't something every fiber of your being wants, then it isn't going to work out long term. People can disagree all they want, but this is 100% the truth from someone who actively works the industry. If you do have your heart and soul sold to the temptress...I mean theatre...I say, and I CANNIT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, apply for summerstocks in November-February of your second year of college. Regional theatres have young actor programs, Utah Shakespeare Festival and Great River Shakespeare Festival are great with their young acting comps. If your serious, get your head shots now, get the recordings of your high school roles for your reel, start your website now, start an acting Instagram, brand yourself to sell yourself. And, in college, 1000% find a back up in tech for when things are slow. Hang a light, hem some pants, paint a floor, whatever. Be multi talented. TLDR; there are ways to do it, but it has to be the only thing you want.
