College theater is a lot of fun, even if you aren't getting a degree in theater. If you aren't getting your degree in theater and your institution has a theater major then it will probably be harder to get a leading role, but it is still a lot of fun to take part in the shows. We'll start with the cons.

Cons:

1. Say goodbye to all of your non-theater friends for a couple months.

2. Be prepared to wish you could just do your homework.

3. Memorizing long and complicated lines is hard.

4. Keeping track of your props.

Now the pros, which I argue outweigh the cons.

Pros:

1. You meet people you would never have met otherwise.

2. You could duel a monk.

3. If you like to sing or dance you can do musicals.

4. We can't all be movie stars, but a lot of us can do college theater.

While it is stressful and a lot of hard work, theater can also be a lot of fun. You should audition for a show at your college or university next fall.
