Introduction
Theatre endeavors to create with and for its students, a learning environment that is inclusive and representative of its community as a whole. We encourage students to develop their artistic expression and technical ability in preparation for their continuing education and future careers. Our hope is to challenge and channel students' talents into having an equitable, local, and global impact as artists, technicians, educators, audience members, and supporters of the arts.
This program will provide training in basic technical theatre skills for career employment in production and performance within the Theatre Industry.
