How do I become a high school theater teacher?

[Natalie]

I'm hoping there are some teachers out there with some answers. I am a 30 year old woman with a background in theater/drama. I've been in love with theater my entire life and I tried pursuing a career in acting. I gave that up about a year ago (not happy with the Hollywood system). I have recently discovered I'd like to teach high school theater. I'm having trouble finding the requirements. Do I get a BA in English and some type of drama endorsement? Is it possible to get a degree in Theater Education only? If so, I assume you still need to follow that up with a teaching credential? I have my AA degree and I started twds my BA, but dropped out in 2000. I have a lot of theater units to transfer. I'm thinking I might be more employable if I had a BA in English, but I want to be sure I could use that to teach theater as that is where my passion lies. Thanks for any advice you have!
