Most people get involved in theatre because they like the creative expression theatre offers. You become a unique storyteller that gets to comment on life, ideas, and culture through art. Theatre also allows for many types of expression: performance, design, writing, construction, music, etc. It's a collaborative art and one that can directly influence and interact with an audience as well. It's live, it's organic, and if you enjoy the process it is massive fun! It can be political, for fun, comedic, dramatic, almost anything you want it to be.
Get involved in a play and see if it is for you.
How does watching a play differ from reading a play?
I guess the difference is that with movies you get a more in-depth, realistic, part of the action kind of feel, wheras when you're watching a play, you're just an observer, you can't see a close-up of the actor's tears or hear them whispering to one another. You can see and feel alot more in a film I think.
On the other hand, in a play the actors are aware of the audience and how they are reacting to the play. Stage actors change their performance depending on how the audience is reacting. When you're watching a movie, you're just an observer, but at a play you're a participant. Because of this, and because actors often make small mistakes on stage that must be compensated for, no two performances of the same play, even in the same production, are exactly the same. Each one is unique. Every time you watch a film, it is exactly the same. Plays are much more exciting than films I think.

What job can you get with a Bachelors in theater?
This totally depends on your skills and interests.
If you wish to remain in your field, often teaching and academics is the route you need to go. Professional schools such as law, business, and (if you have some science background) medicine certainly accept a great many liberal studies majors. Beyond that, employers are mostly interested in hiring smart people with a good set of skills and the ability to learn and grow. Are you particularly passionate about some field? Can you turn it into a job? I know Classics majors in business and Spanish majors who started their own companies and philosophy majors who are engineers.
Obviously some jobs require special training (engineering, sales, trades,...). Whether you have such training, or have the interest or ability to get the training depends on you.
In my experience, few undergraduate majors really prepare you for the workplace -- even pre-professional majors. Most workplaces require skills you learn on the job. Liberal arts/studies teaches you critical thinking, writing, and communication skills, which you need everywhere. In that sense, a liberal arts major can be better than a pre-professional degree.
Answer
There is a good book to read and think about called Jobs for English majors and other smart people by John L Munschauer

3 simple moves for the beginner.
1.step turn step: basically you step onto your right-leg,pick up the left leg and turn to face the back and put your left-leg down. then pick up your right leg and turn to face the front then put your right leg down in first position [legs together] do this faster and faster and there you go! the step turn step. or add a clap on the end and it turns into step turn step clap.
2. step clap: basically you stand in first position [legs together] step out on your left leg then bring your right leg to meet it so you are back in first position. clap when your right leg meets the ground. do this slowly then get faster and faster. there you go step clap! or you could do a jump when you bring your right leg in this is called step jump clap.
3. this move is a bit harder to explain. its called the box step. first you stand in first position. step forwards on your right leg then on your left leg. keep your legs apart [second position] then step back on your right leg then on your left back into first position. this move is a bit harder to explain but i hope it makes sense.
