intertwined, and each has limitations in resources, which impact the other.
The ideal action would be to change the nature of the PAC’s scheduler
duties, and create a FT faculty position in theatre design. This would
address the philosophical gap in our program, as well as help strengthen
the area where we could best serve our students, technical theatre
production. In turn it would be possible to share SAC duties, and focus

7. Collaborations: It is vital that PCC allow release time and
compensation for more cross collaborations between programs.
ACTION: There is no formal administrative measure of collaboration as of
now, though informal support has been offered. Our primary collaboration
would be with the music and dance programs to produce popular musicals,
but the ability to do so is hindered by both budgetary and course load
limitations. In lieu of that we have tried to creatively look at our ability to
collaborate in smaller, less time-consuming resource contingent ways.
Examples would include getting our graphic design done by a student
from PCC’s program. We’ve also utilized students from photography and
scriptwriting. The following are areas where Frances Marsh has identified
as collaborative relationships off and on campus.
