Many people look down on theater kids, or should I say "theater geeks"... little do they know theater is one of the most advanced major a college can offer. If you want to be involved in productions whether that be as a designer or performer, you need to have a whole array of different talents ranging from singing and acting all the way to knowing how to do a full out breakdance in a pair of 4-inch heels. So here are the 5 reasons why I believe theater geeks are the best geeks in the game

1. The studying does not stop past college

Once typical majors get out of college the studying stops and the work begins. But in the theater department, you have not done half of the studying you need to complete the job. Reseach is key to any play or musical. Reseach is what sets the scene and makes the characters.

2. Multi-talented

So most jobs you need to know skills about your profession and only your profession. In theater, you need to know everything from dancing to acting, and then you get into math when designing the set. History when figuring out what costumes to put the characters in. And even psychology to figure out the characters and the way they confront problems.

3. Actors do far more than just act

Actors are essential to any show, they need to know all different personalities. Every show an actor is in they are always learning something new, and not just a new dance or a new song. They could learn little things like how to do a flip or simply how the mind works on all different types of people.

4. Designers do far more than just designing

The design process begins with reading. Designers need to be excellent readers and interpreters. They need to understand the characters in a way that they can dress them so that it portrays the characters without them not even speaking. After reading they have to do a ton of research to understand the setting and time period. What would a show be without a set that truly shows the time period?

5. Practice makes perfect

The theater community is very competitive. Actors and designers are constantly working on bettering themselves and they're skills. No actor or designer is ever perfect and there is always new things they can learn and new challenges they can overcome. So where some people get out of college and work 9-5. An actors job is never over which shows their determination.

Theater majors may be the most intelligent but they're also having the most fun while they're doing it!
