Living and acting in Kansas City versus Southern California
Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to compare theatre students' and recent theatre student alumni's descriptions of acting opportunities in Kansas City versus Southern California. Students from Southern California and Kansas City including, but not limited to, undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Missouri -Kansas City and Chapman University, completed a survey that has been summarized in my findings. Conclusions are made based on the surveys, interviews and research conducted about student opinions of both geographical locations.
