ABSTRACT

Entertainment Design, October 1, 2004 “Who am I anyway? Am I my résumé?” so goes the lyric from the opening number of “A Chorus Line” sung by an aspiring triple-threat. For aspiring theatre designers, the answer to the lyric is yes . . . and no. Design faculty at top colleges can easily see through the gloss of a slick portfolio. An attractive presentation is nice, but if the talent and the ability are not there, the presentation is moot.
