My latest theatre-relevant rift with my father:Father: "Well...you know you're not going to college to do that theatre crap."
Me: with some hostility "Yes, dad. I realize. It isn't as if you've told me this 1000000 times. I won't major in it, but I will still take theatre relevant classes and participate."
Father: "I don't want to waste my money on that crap. There is no money in acting."
Me: "Not everything is about money, DAD. I would so much rather have a career than pays a moderate amount that I absolutely love and look forward to doing every day than one that bores me but pays 6 or 7 figures. And theatre is not and never will be a waste. It isn't as if I'm just dancing in a chorus. Acting, Backstage work, Design etc. all takes a considerable amount of focus, energy, discipline, and creativity, colleges and the rest of the world will acknowledge it as a valid out and expenditure of my time, even if you don't."
Touche.
