Career Day is a program about the exciting career options behind the scenes in the arts, geared exclusively for high school students!

The day will provide an overview into theater technical careers. Industry professionals from various career paths—carpentry, electrical, construction, costumes, wigs/makeup, props, flyman, and ushers—will give mini-presentations at stations throughout the Academy of Music. Students will get firsthand knowledge about the rewarding and lucrative careers available behind the scenes. An impressive onstage demonstration will showcase the inner workings of the magic that happens backstage.

Each student will also be able to register onsite for Opera Philadelphia’s new vocational program, Backstage Pass.
