He began working in the theatre while attending Colgate University, a leading liberal arts institution in Hamilton, New York.

Cronin subsequently worked at several regional theatres in various technical and artistic capacities before heading West to study for one year in the Master's Program at Arizona State University where he acted and directed. While doing so, Cronin realized that he wanted to write plays and tell stories on the stage. He felt the best way was to study the fundamentals of stagecraft at all levels so at graduate school he studied acting, directing, theatre history, and playwriting.
