You might want to be in the biz or the star of the show.
Either way, Kirtland’s Theatre Arts program will make you shine.
You may find yourself in a decidedly visible position or one behind the scenes at the Kirtland Center for Performing Arts as you prepare for your future as a:
- narrator
- news or sports director
- play and script writer
- costume designer
- wardrobe worker
- makeup and hair stylist
- lighting or set designer
- stage manager or
- casting director
The Kirtland Center for Performing Arts theatre boasts an 846-seat theater and is the major cultural institution in KCC’s four-county district. It draws audiences and supportive patrons from across the state. You will gain real-world experience in the KCPA and enhance your classroom studies.
As a Kirtland student, you’ll have the chance to work on KCPA shows and interact with professional touring artists. You likely will act in or become part of the staff for several plays produced on campus each year.
With the KCC Theatre Arts program under your belt you could find employment in your own back yard as a school drama teacher, acting in or being an extra in a film shot on location or working in community theatre.
You also may use your training in a seemingly unrelated career and use theatrical programs in an effort to reach out to troubled kids as a social worker or counselor.
Kirtland’s program is solid, comprehensive and transferable. If you’d like to transfer to a four-year institution and work toward an advanced degree — or you need a humanities credit — your opening act should be at KCC.
