Abstract: Cass Van Gelder admits it: her parents cringed when she told them she was majoring in theatre. "Ugh! You'll never find a job!" her mother cried.
Fast-forward twenty+ years, and not only does she have a job, she has a thriving, fun career at Video Gaming Technologies, Inc. Though not in drama (she does still experience some), she liberally applied her theatrical background and put it to good Agile use!
