Theater Arts-Television Performance

The Gavilan Theatre and Television Program opens the doors for students to become producers, actors, writers, editors and directors for television/video/film production. Students in the Gavilan Television program participate in learning experiences that teach skills in pre-production, production and postproduction including: writing, acting, camera operation, editing, audio, directing in studio and field production scenarios for television production. The projects created and produced by students are prepared for webcast on GavTV, Blip.TV, and Youtube.
