Mission Statement
The faculty and staff of SRJC Theatre Arts take pride in our ability to work closely with our students, offering a nurturing environment on a beautiful, friendly campus. We are working professionals and educators who share the common goal of providing a complete theatre experience. It is our philosophy that training in the performing arts develops imagination, critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills that prepare students for all fields.
Our Objectives are to:
* Educate and train students to be skilled and motivated professionals ready for careers in theatre * Prepare students for achieving higher educational goals in conservatory and university theatre programs * Encourage contributions to the cultural life of the community by participating in civic and community theatre work * Cultivate an appreciation of theatre arts as a significant force in all societies past and present
We foster a profound awareness of cultural diversity, a deep commitment to individual education, self-worth, and training. We offer the highest academic and creative standards, including the development of a collaborative attitude and a professional sense of theatre discipline. We are committed to providing the best professional training we can for our students.
Venues Major productions are staged in two venues; Burbank Auditorium, which houses a 650-seat proscenium theatre, and the intimate Newman Auditorium, with seating for 190.
Programs and Opportunities Theatre Arts students (as well as non-majors) have the opportunity to participate in five major productions plus a dance concert, The Actor's Touring Company, and the very popular Children's Theatre Tour. Auditions are held during the months of August, October, and January for the fall and spring semesters.
