  Trouble is that the multi national companies or corporate houses do not have any interest in performing arts ,they don't encourage also. During the service however theatrical or musical groups are formed with the financial assistance of the authorities. Their contribution for the employee's recreation purpose is obligatory on their parts, but they don't consider ones capabilities in performing arts as a qualification. In the prescribed form of some firms /offices a column is sometimes provided for mentioning 'Extra curricular activities' etc. In case you are to apply in plain paper, you may add in your resume 'Extra curricular activities' or additional information' . Whether they allow any waitage for these is a separate question, but surely you may add in your resume. Acquiring credibility in performing arts is definitely an appreciable qualification.
