The Cañada College Theater Arts Department presents a program rich in depth and diversity. Students pursuing a career in the theatre arts or simply desiring creative expression, will find in the drama department, a wide array of pertinent courses, as well as an extensive opportunity to put their developing knowledge and talent to work in performing on stage, in technical work, or in both. Because the department usually produces five plays during the year, a student has the opportunity to work with at least two different directors and in plays ranging from comedy to heavily dramatic works.
The Cañada Theater Arts Department can point with satisfaction to a significant and steadily growing number of its former students who go on to professional stage, movie, and television work performing, producing, and technical and also to the many gratified amateurs.
It should be emphasized that the Theater Arts program is designed for students of all levels of experience--beginning, intermediate, and advanced.
