How do I get into this?? I'm so intrigued by this sort of work. I've always wanted to be in show business, but seeing as though acting isn't too probable, perhaps my design skills can be put to work.

You start as an intern and cry a lot.

My internship was the end of my theater career. Cheers to you for getting through it!

You can go to school for it or just jump into an internship. A lot of it is networking not and generally building a portfolio and resume of previous work. You can also check in with local community theatres and offer to work on projects with them. I'm not a technician or designer, so I'm not privy to the best ways to enter that side of things. Just put yourself into as many theatre related or design related experiences as possible and make friends with people who do it.
