I don't have a degree in Theater, and I know jack-all about it. But Google disagrees with your friend, and seems to know a lot of people working in drama -- actors, directors, producers, stagehands and everything else -- who studied Theater.
The degree is clearly not a necessity; it might be rare, even. But degree-holders could be a tiny minority among people working in drama and still be likelier than non-degree-holders to get work, or good work, in the field.
