I'm on the musical/performance end of theater, and I can say, the designs you've shown here are head and shoulders above most of what gets put on professional stages.

I'm trying, but it's tough. I applied at PSU 2 or 3 years ago but was drowned by the competition (profs from other major schools with 20+ years experience, etc.) I didn't so much as get an interview. I'm working on getting the Technical Manager position at a newly renovated theatre spacehere in town, but that probably won't give too much design opportunity. I understood the sacrifice of moving away from a vibrant arts scene in chicago, but buying a house and raising a family trumped making $500/show and working 12-18 hours a day
