Here are the top five comment generating posts from last week's Greenpage:
Three Reasons Why Your Theatre Degree Isn’t Useless
OnStage Blog: People with theatre degrees and those pursuing them have heard countless comments suggesting they haven’t made the right choice.
“You know you’re not going to make a lot of money, right?”
“Why don’t you get a more practical degree?”

Backstage at 'Aladdin': The magic of design, costume makes everything sparkle
Chicago Tribune: Wishes have been granted by a genie and a magic carpet has flown for months at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago, where the national touring production of Disney’s “Aladdin” has brought the animated film’s Agrabah to life on the proscenium since April. Show after show, the journey of a street rat-with-dreams, from penniless urchin to prince, all comes together like magic.
17 Important Questions to Ask Before Accepting a Job Offer
business.tutsplus.com: To some applicants, the lure of receiving a monthly salary after months of job hunting is so irresistible they sign the first offer they get.
