Theatre Arts
Lights! Action! Theatre!
TCC’s Associate’s Degree in Theatre Arts provides a broad introduction to both performance and technical aspects of theater production. Technical theater arts students spend 10 percent of their time in the classroom and 90 percent in the workshop, building sets and learning technical aspects. Students learn stage lighting and sound, stagecraft or set design and how to set the pace for a show. Even if theater is not your career goal, you can build self-confidence, speaking skills, and collaboration by participating in live theatre.
