Theatre
The Theatre curriculum covers the following fields: acting, scenic
design, lighting design, stage make-up, technical theatre, study of
theatre history and the great playwrights and play production.
Students who enroll in this curriculum do so for both cultural and
vocational purposes.
Several plays are staged during the year in both traditional and
experimental forms. Students desiring to work in these major
productions should arrange their schedules so they will be free to
rehearse at the times scheduled. Auditions are held for each
production and all students in the College are eligible whether or not
they are in drama classes. Plays are produced in conjunction with the
John Paul Theatre Troupe, the College drama organization.
Theatre Majors: Students intending to transfer to a university to
complete a degree in theatre arts should consult that university’s
catalog to insure compliance with transfer requirements.
You may graduate from Phoenix College with an Associate in
Arts/8400 Degree, and major in theatre at a four-year college or
university. Theatre majors are strongly encouraged to consult with a
theatre department faculty member for advisement. Transfer
requirements for majors in theatre differ at various colleges and
universities. Accurate advisement now will reduce transfer problems
later.
It is highly recommended that all theatre majors complete the
required courses as indicated for transfer to any of the three state
universities, particularly ASU. Failure to complete the lower division
required theatre courses may result in the student being denied entry
into their major field of concentration until lower division course
requirements are met. Theater majors must meet with Doris Sleeper,
Theatre Advisor. Ms. Sleeper may be reached at 602.285.7861 or in
the Advisement Center.
