An advanced degree in theater production can prepare graduate students for work with the various creative aspects of theatrical management as well as offering coursework in the technical and financial aspects of mounting a theater production.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
