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.

When the pastor of a mega-church announces a major change to a core belief, it begins to ripple through the congregation, causing rifts to form in the pastor’s more precious relationships. A powerful and compassionate story about how faith can bring us together or tear us apart.
