The Theatre Arts program allows you to gain skills sharpening your mind, body, and voice. The department offers a range of classes for those just getting started in performance and seeking general theatre appreciation all the way to more advanced specialized classes in physical theatre, mastering styles, or specific technical theatre study in stage craft, costumes, lighting, and sound. We currently offer 2 Associate degrees (AA and AA-T) and a Certificate of Achievement in technical theatre as well as performance, with specialized tracks in acting and musical theatre.
