In Tennessee, with No Child Left Behind, they have changed the criteria so much that you have to be Highly Qualified in each area that you teach. To do this, you plot your course work on a rubric provided by the state, along with other professional duties that you have performed and Praxis scores, etc. This score tells them if you are HQ. If not, you have to jump through some hoops to get HQ or you are not allowed to teach that subject area any longer.
Now, with that being said, I believe I would ask my academic advisor to make doubly sure that you are on the right track for endorsements so that you are not missing something before you graduate. It would be AWFUL to graduate and not have all the endorsements you need!

I think that would depend where you are going to teach. If you wanted to teach in a elementary or high school you probably would have to get certified.
If you are teaching at a local fine arts school you may not have too.
You should ask your academic adviser or go to the career center on your campus.

The way it works in Ontario (Canada) is that you use your majors and minors to qualify for "teachable areas" when you apply to teacher's college; you don't need to have theatre education. However, you would still need to go through some form of B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) program!
Of course, your state may vary...
