theater major
Stage arts concentration
A theater major is a college student pursuing a degree in dramatic arts—acting, directing, stagecraft, or related disciplines.
The term often carries a joking or dismissive tone, implying impractical career prospects: My parents weren't thrilled when I declared as a theater major.
It functions as shorthand for any pursuit seen as artistically passionate but economically questionable.
