The Theatre Performance 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. It is highly recommended that students who wish to transfer may want to consult their counselor to help them determine the best course of action for their goals.
