The Acting Program At...

Welcome to the Department of Theatre at Kansas City Kansas Community College. The Department of Theatre is rooted in the liberal arts tradition. We offer both an Associate of Arts Degree in Acting and an Associate of General Studies in Theatre Technology and Design.

Our exciting, new program is noted for its professional atmosphere, its comprehensive nature, and its close faculty/student working relationship. In the department you'll have the benefits of a small, close-knit program within the environment of a comprehensive, urban community college with courses taught by some of the best professional actors, designers, and technicians in the Kansas City area.

Our multicultural program promotes student involvement in all areas of production including acting, stage management, scenic design and construction, costume design and construction, lighting, sound, props, and management. Our production program provides a creative forum where theories learned in the classroom can be applied and augmented.

The Department of Theatre encourages students to seek out and develop interdisciplinary pursuits among the visual and performing arts areas. Such pursuits would complement interdisciplinary performance and exhibit initiatives engaged in by the three departments. Fine Arts, through the offerings of the three departments, provide a wide range of public performance and gallery opportunities for the college community.
