Courses
The theatre curriculum at Irvine Valley includes courses in acting, directing, voice, and musical theatre. A strong emphasis is placed in the development of the many technical theatre skills required in the theatre-including stagecraft, lighting, and theatre production.
Major
Students majoring in theatre arts concentrate on developing the expressive, interpretive, artistic and practical skills fundamental to the production of various types of dramatic literature. Students who wish to complete an Associate in Arts degree in theater may select one of the following three options to fulfill the major requirement: (1) Theater Arts, (2) Technical Theater, or (3) Theater Arts for Transfer.
Potential Careers (For Non-Transfer Degree Recipients)
Theater Arts majors develop an ability to project and present themselves before audiences in formal performances. Thus the major is appropriate both for students who are anticipating careers in acting, directing or theater production, and for those who may choose careers with a high profile such as law, teaching, or management. In addition, students completing certificates can move directly into careers in the broad field of live entertainment.
