Theater: Acting & Performance (Commuter)

Considering participation in a university theater program or a career in performing arts? Forge your creative path with our Theater: The Art of Acting and Performance program. This fun, immersive program is designed to engage learners from multiple perspectives and expand their critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills as they explore the craft of acting and why this art form is a valuable part of society. In the classroom, students will explore the symbiotic relationship between art and society, discussing how theater can be used as a means for not only artistic expression but also as a vehicle for social change. Our student actors will also have the opportunity to go beyond standard classroom study and transform the stage into their personal laboratories, where they’ll discover the craft of acting, effective communication, and the conduct and protocols of working as an actor—as an individual, with a partner, with an ensemble, in class, in rehearsal and in performance.
