I don't really get to hang out with many people outside of their department, But any single time I do talk to someone, everyone. So what does the work load like for a theater major staying in the theater department? Just prepare for a lot of work being in. So being eighteen hours where the classes and then having to work on campus and then going to rehearsals, rehearsals usually last from six to ten on Saturdays unless anywhere from ninety six or ninety nine so just prepared for long hours.
