Taking a Course or Two is Easy - and Fun!

Two cabaret performersMany students who are planning to major in other fields take a couple of our courses.  Science, social science and business students appreciate the fact that Intro: Performance or Voice and Speech Skills gives them a break from the lecture format, encourages them to develop the physical and emotional sides of their natures, and helps build confidence for public speaking and presentations of all kinds. Intro: General is great for students in any discipline who want to be prepared for a lifetime as a knowledgable theatre spectator. And Introduction to Film will change how you experience our most popular form of entertainment - and it'll give you the chance to make a film yourself!
