Mendocino College

Through study in Theatre Arts (including Dance and Theatre) and through completion of the college’s Theatre Arts degrees and certificates, students develop the ability to participate in the creation and performance and production of live theatre and dance performances. In addition, students learn to analyze performances in the context of history, theory and practice. Fully staged productions in the college's two theatres supplement the studio and lecture classes. The program emphasizes the importance of creative collaboration and effective interpersonal communication. The program strives to develop, nurture and train future generations of theatre artists, as well as students who may apply their theatre studies in a variety of other academic areas and careers.
