The Theatre discipline at 美姬社区 is committed to artistic enrichment and appreciation of the theatre arts for all students. The academic discipline seeks to present opportunities for students:
- to develop an appreciation for theatre
- to improve the knowledge and skills required to work in the theatre arts professionally and in related careers
-
to gain awareness, as participants or audience members, of the influences of theatre in the world
The faculty is dedicated to excellence in Theatre education that emphasizes transfer education, personal growth, professional preparatory training and community involvement. For the major, public performance is at the core of the discipline鈥檚 program.
Consequently, participation with theatre production activities is vital for all majors as is challenging scholastic and theoretical study.
