Contrary to popular belief, theater not only involves stage performances but also includes film and drama. Careers in this field include film actors, stage actors and dramatists. Stage managers, prop managers, directors, producers, theater music composers, stage maintenance crews and prompters are also included in theater careers. There is high competition for all these careers. Your theater resume should therefore be well prepared.
