Hey, I'm a Jewish actress, but I'm Conservative. It sounds like you're Orthodox or at least Traditional, right? Do you wear pants, or just skirts? Do you daven multiple times each day? If so, performance opportunities are probably limited for you. Directors usually look for people that can make time commitments. I didn't make callbacks for a show because I had to miss a couple of rehearsals for Hebrew school! Also, you have to be versatile: you wear what your director wants you to wear. There are so many things that could be a concern if you are Orthodox. You couldn't sing in front of boys. You couldn't wear short sleeves. If you attend a school for religious Jews, you probably miss out on a lot of public school type things, so it would be difficult for you to portray a girl at a public school, for example. Then again, you didn't specify how religious you are, so I'm not quite sure what you could or couldn't do.
Sorry for all the negativity. I'm sure there are lots of performance opportunities out there for you, just keep looking.

This is going to be entirely up to you, in the long run. I had a Jewish girlfriend, and she had been a theatre major, and had no problem with it.
If you were to insist on not doing shows from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, that might be a problem. The number of Jewish entertainers is legendary, though! Actors, musicians, comedians, etc.

Sorry to assert this, yet stay with the occupation till you pay off the deepest loan. do this as quickly as you are able to. once you're free of that, do inspite of you want. in spite of the undeniable fact that the banks will pursue you to the ends of the earth and tack all sorts of overdue expenses and such on you in the experience that they don't get their pound of flesh. they're ruthless. And it really is a debt you are able to't discharge by way of financial ruin, both. a religious life does sound worthwhile, I do desire that you'll be able to/do pursue it later once you're loose to achieve this. i might want to assist you in doing that. advantages on your experience!

Ask your family and religious clergy how they feel about it.
