Theatre Arts

The theatre arts program offers an extensive repertoire of courses that explore acting techniques, stage design, historical perspectives, and technical artistry. Students may pursue an AA-T in theatre arts, an AA in theatre acting, and a certificate in technical theatre. Each class is devised to help develop the skills necessary for a career as a professional actor, stage manager, stage technician, or designer. Each year, the department produces two to three diverse, challenging, and exciting productions. Chaffey’s theatre department is an inclusive environment where students are encouraged to express themselves, explore new techniques, and find their own artistic voice.
