If the ticket hall and concessions are outside (THIS is the single lobby), then you go through the set of door into a POD, which consists of several screen in a multiplex theater. The space you are talking about is the hallway in the pod. I guess you could also call it a sort of lobby, but many types of theatres and concert halls have it to reduce noise and light to the main auditoriums.

It could possibly be referred to as the foyer. I looked at some design plans, and it was usually labeled simply as “exit”.

Comment on What are your thoughts on Musical Theater as a career? by leegee01

Musical Theatre/Entertainment is certainly a legitimate career. I know it is possible, as I have many friends who make their living in that capacity. There are challenges, of course. There are many more people who would LIKE to have a career in entertainment than there are jobs available. The competition can be fierce. If you aren’t fortunate enough to sign on to a long term gig with an established company, you can expect to have to travel to where the work is.
Not everyone who works in entertainment will end up on Broadway, but there are plenty of talented individuals who make their living in Branson, Missouri; in theme parks across the US; or on cruise ships.

Like with any career, those who are best prepared and well rounded will fare better. Making good contacts is also essential. There are publications, like Artsearch through the TCG, that advertise jobs to entertainment professionals. (http://www.tcg.org/artsearch/index.cfm)

Musical Theatre might be an impossible dream for someone who does not have enough talent or drive. You can expect long hours at odd times of day, late nights, no insurance benefits, and frequent travel. It’s not a job that is conducive to having a family or children. It involves lots of hard work, frequently at a frantic pace. It’s certainly not for everyone.

But for someone who dreams of making their living performing, it is incredibly satisfying.

Musical theatre is something that you have to love to do. If you go into the business with no interest whatsoever it will reflect on stage.

A career in musical theatre is difficult and underestimated for sure but not impossible. Most actors don’t limit themselves to just one type of theatre though. A difficulty would be finding jobs. It is an extremely competitive career to pursue.

Hope this helped, best of luck!

AMDA and Columbia College Chicago are not good.. sorry. There are loads of theater programs around the country. Yale, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, NYU, USC, Brown and UCLA are just a few of the excellent programs available.

Check out CollegeConfidential’s Theatre Major forum:

Well, if your talking all over the nation, here’s a few that some of my friends are going to, and a few I’d apply for:
AMDA – California, New York – BFA’s in Acting, Musical Theatre, Dance Theatre, Performing Arts
Columbia- Chicago, New York- great film studies
Millikin- private vocational theatre school in Illinois (Northwestern, ISU, DePaul are a few other good school in Illinois)
Carnegie Mellon- Pittsburgh PA- uber-selective, but A-mazing
UCLA- I know you mentioned it, but my friend raves about the theatre troupe there, and I have to agree. Excellent school for theatre.

Those are just a few of course. If you want a more comprehensive look, besides just my favorites, try: http://www.a2zcolleges.com/arts/Drama/

I would also strongly suggest that your cousin run these colleges and more through a search on collegeboard.com, which will not only put into perspective the quality of the intended major at a university, but several other factors that also weigh on someone’s decision.

I don’t know about mounting speakers in the ceiling for quality audio, but the link below brags about the ones they have. See what you think.
