  • Once Upon A Mattress 2The Theatre program provides an excellent opportunity for students who plan to transfer to four-year colleges and universities to complete bachelor's degree in Theatre or dramatic arts education. With two to three main-stage productions and as many as four one-act plays produced each year, your chances of stage time as a freshman is significantly higher than at most four-year colleges and universities. In addition, our Improv Team performs several times throughout the year.

    You also get experience in all aspects of Technical Theatre, including scenic design and production, costume design and construction, prop production and stage lighting.
