About ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Theatre
The ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Theater has been transforming the American Theatre Experience since 1996. As part of the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï , students and faculty join together for enlightened experiences of fine arts, humanities, English, foreign language and communication. The programs are critical components of every academic and training degree program offered by the college.
ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Theatre offers courses in acting, oral interpretation, stage voice, movement for the stage, theatre technology, dramatic analysis and more. Special Topic courses are added to the schedule regularly, generally taking advantage of the specific skills ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Theatre’s many guest artists and instructors can provide. In the past, courses in playwrighting, armature, effects makeup, Suzuki Movement Training, stage combat and comedy improv have been offered.
As the mission of ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï has expanded, so has its reach. The college service area now includes more than half of Nevada’s seventeen counties, covers 80% of Nevada’s geographical area, and serves five percent of the state’s total population. It’s a big state, and ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï intends to educate it. Using state of the art distance learning technologies, students in even the furthest reaches of Nevada will have equitable access to the opportunities higher education has been providing to their urban counterparts for decades. It requires fierce commitment from the college and creates a tremendous opportunity for the entire state of Nevada.
ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï theatre now offers almost all of its courses using distance-learning technologies. By combining traditional theatre teaching techniques with advanced technologies, students are accessing a learning experience with seasoned theatre professionals that heretofore had not even been conceived. And, what’s more, they are being prepared for the theatre of today. Added to other fine arts and humanities courses already offered with distance technologies, and it is easy understand why ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï is recognized as one of the most efficient and innovative colleges in the state.
