Acting, designing, writing, building--whatever your passion, we have what it takes to provide you with the training and experience you need to pursue your dreams. We provide hands-on experience for actors, technicians, and writers in an active department where students learn their craft from faculty and staff who are working professionals in the industry. It's your passion--it's ours, too.
Between our large, proscenium Saville Theatre and our more intimate Black Box space, we fully produce five shows a year. This includes one musical with live orchestration, the annual Festival of New Plays, which is written and directed by City College students, and a showcase production with student designers. Auditions for productions are held each semester, and are open to the public. Interviews will be held on a rolling basis for technical/stage management/backstage crew/front of house.
We offer a range of courses, taught by industry-leading artists and educators. From acting to stage craft, build your technical skills, hone your craft, and develop your love of the theatrical arts as a performer, technician, playwright, designer, or audience member. We offer a wide range of courses that are available to any enrolled student, whether you are a major or just looking to fulfill your gen eds in a collaborative and supportive environment. Courses are available for transfer to UCs and CSUs (and beyond!)
We offer beautiful, state-of-the-art facilities including:
At City College you will have the opportunity to learn from professional theatre makers using state of the art equipment.
