Whether you are taking your first timid steps upon the stage or you are a veteran performer of musicals and plays, theatre coursework at Collin College can be your ticket to better performance and a fuller understanding of “the business of show.” Theatre coursework introduces students to the aesthetic and analytical elements of theatrical productions. It offers a full curriculum of theatre study including work in beginning and advanced acting, musical theatre, voice and diction, stagecraft and design, costume design and stage makeup, theatre history, as well as courses in stage management, acting for the camera, improvisation, movement and mask work. The labs enable students to have hands-on experiences through performances, as well as shop and crew assignments. Studies include contemporary theories and classical aspects of theatrical productions. Theatre coursework at Collin College has been nationally recognized and Collin students have gone to prestigious training programs across the country.
