This article from the website Backstage, written by Harvey Young of Northwestern University, makes some excellent points about the importance of the theatre degree. It's not too hard to imagine how similar arguments can be made about most liberal arts discipline. Thanks to Ethan Krupp for the link!
Incidentally, though Young identifies three reasons, he left off an important one: theater students learn how to use power tools.
