One of six student guidebooks in a series of 11 arts and humanities career exploration guides for grade 7-12 teachers, counselors, and students, this student book on exploration of theater and media careers presents information on specific occupations in five different career areas: Performance, writing, production, business, and education/criticism. Each chapter includes general discussion of the field and what people in that field do, description of personality characteristics and interests that are appropriate, education or experience required, where and how jobs are found and the job outlook, and suggestions a person in the field would make to students. The chapters and jobs they cover are as follows: (1) Performance Careers (actors, entertainers, announcers, and directors), (2) Writing Careers (playwrights and scriptwriters), (3) Production Careers (designers, backstage theater work, and media production work), (4) Business Careers (producers, theater business and management, television and radio directors, agents and salespeople), and (5) Education/Criticism Careers (teachers and librarians, and writers about theater and media). Appended are a glossary, a list of addresses of professional associations, and a list of sources of additional information. (JT)
