NEW YORK—In an effort to accommodate pupils who are realistic about their chances in the industry, the performing arts conservatory Juilliard announced Wednesday that it had formed a new business school for students who realize the whole acting thing is probably a long shot.
“This exciting new program will serve to educate some of today’s greatest budding thespians who are clear-eyed and practical about how few paying jobs there are for actors,” Juilliard president Damian Woetzel said of the degrees now being offered in accounting, finance, and project management for students who, lacking major Hollywood connections or independently wealthy parents, will inevitably bum around the Brooklyn theater scene for a couple years before going broke and calling it quits.

Okay y'all are on a roll today.
