The Theatre discipline teaches understanding of current acting
techniques and modern vocational skills to encourage student success
in their artistic endeavors.
The Theatre discipline at MiraCosta College is committed to artistic
enrichment and appreciation of the theatre arts for all students.
The academic discipline seeks to present opportunities for students
(1) to develop an appreciation for theatre; (2) to improve the knowledge
and skills required to work in the theatre arts professionally and
in related careers; (3) 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’s program.
Consequently, participation with theatre production activities
is vital for all majors as is challenging scholastics and theoretical
study. The mainstage production season is composed of four stylistically
different plays each year. To reflect our multi-cultural student
population, all casting is considered color blind to all who audition.
For further training, The Actor’s Academy offers a conservatory
style program that focuses on classical actor training and performing
the works of William Shakespeare.
The theatre facilities include a 247 seat proscenium theatre has
many unique features including a vomitorium and flexible thrust
stage and the Little Theatre, a small proscenium space used primarily
for experimental theatre.
