Theatre Arts
The stage is set. The house is standing room only. And it’s five minutes to curtain. This is your first performance but you’re not nervous at all. All of your study, training, and practice at MCC has paid off.
The Theatre Arts program provides you with an excellent foundation in theatrical production and performance and offers opportunities for participation to students, staff, faculty, and the community. We support a variety of theatre outreach experiences including four main stage productions, as well as student productions and showcases, original works, guest artists, workshops, and puppetry performances.
A balanced, well-rounded theatrical experience helps you develop confidence and enables you to move from competence to excellence in whatever profession you choose. A theatrical education provides you with a valuable base from which to launch a career in film, television, stage, management, marketing, advertising, law, politics, theology, social work, or in therapeutic fields.
