I think this is a wonderful thing you are doing...Also, if acting/performing is what you want to do in the end, having something you can do on the side is excellent. I'm getting my Masters in Costume Technology and Shop Management (I graduate this coming May) and one thing my professors have always stressed to all our Actors/Actresses is to have something else in theatre that you can do on the side. We have people that learn to work in the scene shop on the side or in the costume shop. So you might think of later on getting some costume shop or wardrobe experience as a money earner for those times where you can't find performing jobs :) We have people come in to volunteer to work all the time from other departments and we are happy to teach them.
