The four-year course of study in LACHSA's Theatre Department provides a multi-dimensional experience that captures the breath and depth of theatre as an art form and exposes students to historical, contemporary, social, multicultural, and cutting-edge concepts in theatre. Students are actively involved as creators and evaluators of theatre arts. LACHSA theatre students graduate not only as trained actors with artistic integrity and shared standards of excellence, but critical thinkers, arts leaders and advocates for the theatre arts.
All theatre majors are required to take the first two years of the curriculum. At the end of two years, students may elect to take the Tech Track for the remaining time. The Tech Program prepares students, through coursework and hands-on experiences, to work in technical theater and includes a range of topics designed to give students knowledge and proficient skills, while giving them the opportunity to work behind the scenes in theatre and other professional theatrical venues. However, all Tech students are required to take their Acting class for all four years.
