Theatre
If you love to perform, build scenery, or direct, then HFC’s Theatre Arts program is for you.
Interested in this program?
Why should I choose this program?
Our welcoming program provides a foundation in the theory and practice of theatrical arts, including acting, technology, design, history, and literature. By the time you finish our program, you will have the knowledge and experience to continue studying at a four-year theatre program, pursue entry-level theatre technology employment, or apply what you've learned to the many industries and careers that benefit from theatrical skills. You can take classes, get involved with our production season (onstage AND off!), and even earn money while learning through theatre Work Study opportunities.
Additionally, many of our students pursue theatrical skills for NON-theatre jobs! From teaching to sales to communications and more, studying theatre is NOT just for those interested in the theatre industry, but for anyone who recognizes their career will be enhanced by presentation, improvisation, and an understanding of one's "audience." Earning a two-year Liberal Arts degree focused on theatre and then transferring to complete a four-year degree in Education, Law, Business, Communications, or Entertainment/Non-profit Management has offered many students a way to pursue stable careers while standing out from their peers and doing what they love!
