Speech and Theatre

Dedicated to production excellence, acting diversity, historical accuracy, and technical proficiency, the Theatre program at Pearl River Community College strives to integrate learning and practical application of theatre. The exhilaration of a performance as well as the preparation, hard work, and dedication required for a successful theatrical production can provide students with experiences unlike any they may have previously encountered. In addition to performance possibilities, acting classes offer a deeper exploration into the art of acting through interactive exercises and scene studies. Sound, lighting, costumes, and scenery pose unique challenges for every production and students are afforded the opportunity to build, paint, sew, light, and design sound for a myriad of production possibilities. For the general student population, Theatre Appreciation provides a survey of the rich history of the theatre along with an overview of the inner workings of a theatre.
