Introduction
The Department of Theatre and Film at American River College offers a wide range of classes in all theatre areas, along with an expanding Film Studies program. We also maintain a busy production schedule in various performance spaces in our recently modernized and expanded facility. In addition to our season of full-scale department productions, we feature touring Children's Theatre productions, student-produced performances featuring scenes, improv, and one-act plays, and an on-going partnership with the Broadway at Music Circus program. This schedule provides broad opportunities for theoretical and practical training for our students and an exciting and varied menu of theatrical fare for our audiences.
This degree is designed to facilitate successful transfer to baccalaureate theatre or drama degree programs. It provides students with the lower division breadth and depth of theatre arts and exposes students to the core principles and practices in the field. It covers the basics of acting, theatre technology, production, and the historical and modern development of theatre and dramatic literature in entertainment. The Associate in Arts in Theatre Arts for Transfer degree provides students with a major that fulfills the California State University's general requirements for transfer. Students with this degree will receive priority admission with junior status to the California State University system.
