Theatre Program

 

 

The Theatre Department is under the direction of Darla Jones,

Gigi Cervantes, and Roger Drummond.

 

 

Students learn the essential vocabulary and processes of theatre as well as reading, writing, and researching theatre literature, acting and technical theatre. Acting experience includes exploring the concepts of self, body and voice work, improvisation, acting techniques, and reading and writing related to theatre study. In addition, students learn about and reflect on aspects of theatre through history and in different cultures, as well as the various forms of theatre and theatre-related media. Students have opportunities for practical application of knowledge in formal productions and scene & monologue work. This course develops creativity and spontaneity in those students wanting to explore theatre, as well as those who wish to commit to a theatre program.
