Performing Arts

Each year, the college's performing arts produces comedy, musical, and dramatic performances for students and the community. Students are responsible for acting and technical elements for each production.

Theatre appreciation students are involved in three productions: one in the Fall, one in the Spring, and a one-act either during class or a kid's play at a local school. Volunteers wishing to participate in one of these productions without taking a theatre class can contact Ellen Bland at (919) 542-6495.
