Our department offers courses leading to an Associate of Arts with an emphasis in Theatre Arts or Music Theatre, and an Associate of Applied Science in Theatre Technology and certificates in Stagehand Basics, Stagecraft, Costume Basics, and Costumes & Fashion.
The courses offered through the program emphasize training and hands-on experience in all facets of theatre, including performance and technical work. These classes are taught by theatre professionals who share their talents and expertise in the classroom as well as within the community at-large. Completion of the coursework is also appropriate for students pursuing an advanced education in Theatre Arts or teacher certification at a four-year institution.
The production aspect of RRCC Theatre Arts has consistently presented high quality performances (including an award winning productions in 1992, 1996, 2002 and 2003) featuring students, staff, faculty and members of the community. These RRCC Theatre Arts productions were selected as Featured Showcases in the regional five state competition offered through the Rocky Mountain Theatre Association. In addition, RRCC Theatre Arts productions have received critical acclaim in the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post, as well as other newspapers in the Denver Metro area.
RRCC Theatre Arts also offers a costume and property rental service to the college and community. Voted "Best Place to Get Costumes" in 1998, 1999, 2002 and 2003 by Westword, a Denver newspaper, this service is used by individuals, schools, theatre companies, church groups, businesses and other organizations.
We offer a variety of excellent course offerings, including day, night, weekend, and self-study.
