The Academic Theatre Program at CCBC accommodates students who wish to pursue further academic study or a career in theatre, non-theatre students who wish to take theatre arts electives and students who wish to enhance their understanding and appreciation of the theatre.
You'll gain a global perspective of theatre's influence and place in history, train in large and small performing spaces and study with experienced faculty who are all working professionals. You'll also be able to participate in five academic productions each year, including the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. The associate degrees are designed to help you transfer to a four-year B.A. or B.F.A. degree program in Theatre.
If you'd like to know more about the Academic Theatre program, or just ask about taking a class, talk to one of our program coordinators!
CCBC students are always free with I.D.
From the award-winning writer of Moonlight comes The Brothers Size—a gripping story of belonging and brotherhood. Ogun, a hardworking mechanic with a broken heart, lives with his aimless younger brother, Oshoosi, just out of prison. But when Oshoosi’s former cellmate, Elegba, reappears, Ogun’s loyalty is pushed to the limit. Rooted in Yoruba mythology and rich with poetry and ritual, this is theatre that’s both powerful and unforgettable.
Performances:
It’s Midsummer’s Eve, and while her disgraced father, the Baron, travels away, Miss Julie chooses to remain at home—celebrating with the servants. Alone in the kitchen with her father’s valet, Jean, she enters a perilous game of desire and power. Over the course of one fevered night, the two spar for escape from the cages built by society—and by their own illusions. In Craig Lucas’s bold adaptation, Strindberg’s classic drama speaks with a contemporary American voice.
Performances:
In this whimsical historical comedy, four badass women fight back against the political hysteria of 1793 Paris. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle, and deposed queen Marie Antoinette each face the chopping block and their own thoughts on their legacy. Existing in a world somewhere between dream and reality, terror and power, this play explores the power of art, sisterhood, and bravery with wit and humor (and ribbons).
