This is a hands-on program designed to meet the needs of beginning, intermediate, and advanced performers interested in working in theatre. Throughout the fall session, students have the opportunity to learn about multiple facets of theatre arts from acting, singing and dancing, to stage management, props, and costuming. Each session concludes with a weekend Festival of Shows. Enrolled students will also have the opportunity to be cast in CSC's 2024 mainstage Holiday Spectacular: A Christmas Carol, although casting is not guaranteed.
