The Theatre Arts program is a rigorous and exciting program that trains its students in a variety of theatrical disciplines, including acting, playwriting, theatrical makeup, script analysis, directing, stage management, lighting, design, and stagecraft. Majors will have the opportunity to participate in up to four productions a year: three main stage productions and a one act festival in our smaller black box venue. Theatre Arts graduates will be prepared to transfer to a four-year university for further training; find entry level work in technical theatre; act, write or direct on a community or professional level or in film or television. The Associate in Arts in Theatre Performance for Transfer will meet the needs of students transferring to a California State University who intend to study in a theatre-related major. It is highly recommended that students consult with a counselor to determine whether this degree is the best option for their transfer goals. Other requirements include completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of degree-applicable courses, minimum overall grade point average of 2.0, minimum grade of “C” (or “P”) for each course in the major, and completion of Cal-GETC (California General Education Transfer Curriculum).
