Program Description
Offering one of the most diversified theatre curriculum and ambitious production schedules of all community colleges, the Theatre Department at Fullerton College is strongly committed to transfer education, professional training, personal enrichment and community service. The mainstage production season is augmented by a new play development program, a directors festival, and a summer musical theatre conservatory. A strong high school outreach program is anchored by special weekday matinees for high school audiences and one of the largest high school theatre festivals in the United States. The Theatre program at Fullerton College traces its success to four strengths of the program: ( 1) talented and award-winning faculty who love to teach, (2) talented and ambitious students who are learning what it means to have a talent for working, (3) distinguished and accomplished alumni who by their example give our current students permission to dream, and (4) a consistent commitment to excellence in theatre education reflective of our multi-cultural student population.
