Mission Statement

The mission of the Arts and Sciences - Theatre program is to provide knowledge and skills in drama, expressive communication, performance, technical theatre, and production. The theatre program offers a liberal arts university-parallel curriculum, so that students of this program are well positioned to transfer to 4-year colleges and universities. This program carefully nurtures developing performing artists by providing the training, knowledge, experience, and artistic vision necessary to succeed in professional theatre, by helping student artists develop their artistic potential. Students pursuing theatre design and technology gain necessary knowledge and experience, while developing their personal artistic vision through in-depth training.
