ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT and THE COLLEGE:
|
Offering a BA in Theatre with concentrations in Performance, Design/Tech and Theatre Education, the Theatre Department produces four shows a season across three venues, as well as an annual Children's Theatre production that reaches thousands of elementary school kids throughout Stanislaus County and the surrounding region. The Stanislaus State Department of Theatre is built on the premise stated by the famed English director Peter Brook: "a play is called a play for a very important reason - a play is play." We want our theatre students and the people who attend our theatre to enjoy the process of theatre by reveling in the camaraderie of the ensemble in the production process. Lee Strasberg, when talking about the Group Theatre said, "there will be no stars in our theatre," and that is a guiding principle upon which the Stanislaus State Theatre is built. Our theatre is a collective outcome of the joint efforts of many.
