Theater Career Expo 2017 at the Guthrie Theater

If you have any interest whatsoever in working in the theater, in any capacity, and you live in Minnesota, then this expo is definitely for you.

I came in basically as a sub - my son is an actor, and he was going to be late. So my husband and I decided to come find out as much as we could until he got here.

Honestly, this is as much for parents as for people interested in the theater. There is so much information here, and everyone is very welcoming and engaging.

Also, there are so many workshops, and they aren't all just for performers. There are workshops for every aspect of work in the theater, both on stage and behind-the-scenes. There are people here at all stages of their careers, and that isn't just the presenters.

One of the most useful workshops is about networking. Everyone needs to network and they force you to talk to each other, which is great for an introvert such as myself!

I would honestly say that you should do whatever it takes to go to this expo the next time they hold it. Not only do you get to mix and mingle with all different people, you get to learn about different skills and perspectives, and that's priceless.
