The Theater Arts program provides hands-on, high quality theatre education and experience, preparing students to go on to four-year universities, professional training programs, to work in the theatre, film, or television industry, or to simply and more fully appreciate the arts. The program is structured to provide students with multiple performance opportunities and learning experiences. There is an opportunity to be active both onstage and backstage. The program produces four plays each year, including two Festivals of One-Act Plays directed by students. The productions, which vary in content and style from year to year, are cast completely from the college’s own students, and it is the program’s goal to provide every interested student with a chance to direct.
