Acting In Theater

Acting has its roots in theater. So whether you plan to pursue a theatrical career or not, acting in theatrical productions can be an important learning experience for any type of actor. The more acting experience you can get, the stronger you'll become as an actor, and for many actors (such as Hugh Jackman from X-Men and Kate & Leopold), the first place they start is in the theater.

In this section, you'll discover the differences between theater acting and film and television acting along with what to expect when performing in theater. If you're interested in pursuing a career in theatrical acting, do it for the love or acting, not for the money or fame as Broadway stars are rarely household names, and few theatrical actors sign multimillion-dollar contracts like their film and television counterparts.
