Testimonials
The Theater Dept at East Los Angeles College was a diamond in the rough for my education and my life aesthetic. They introduced me to a world outside myself, introducing me to art and the beauty of live performance. All the while, helping me discover a whole new voice and confidence within myself that has definitely been the cornerstone of my achievements thus far. Shakespeare and East Los Angeles College’s Theater Program saved me from my past and helped me discover my future.Marcelo, Acting Alumni (TV credits include FX's Snowfall, Adult Swim's Black Jesus, CBS's Training Day, FOX's Lethal Weapon)
The acting classes in ELAC's theater program helped improve my self-confidence and skills as an artist. I also received great support from all of my professors when I made the decision to transfer to a four-year university as a theater major. Their teachings and guidance helped make my transition easy. I felt well prepared to enter a new theater space with everything I learned from the courses I took and from my practical experience of working on productions both on and off stage. Cassandra, Acting Alumni & UCSD Theater Transfer Student
East Los Angeles College summer with Shakespeare Workshop is the most affordable Shakespeare training you can get in LA.
Cesar, Acting Alumni & Teaching Artist
As individuals I do not think the acting teachers and, in fact, the whole drama faculty, could be more different, yet what they have in common is in their relentless support and passion for the education and success of their students. The extremely diverse education I received that each teacher worked an essential part in culminating from the literary and script breakdowns to the physical and mental focus techniques allowed me to enter the University of California, Irvine confidently, excitedly and well-versed in what would be required and expected of me to achieve my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Drama of which I earned last March. Marissa, Acting Alumni & UC Irvine Theatre Transfer Student
Faculty
Our faculty has many years of professional acting experience. Some are still highly active in the industry and therefore up-to-date on industry practices including the uses of technology that today’s actor must be able to employ for success. Our faculty’s doors are always open and we are very proud of the supportive and nurturing program that we have developed. We hope that you will become a part of it.

We also offer students the opportunity to direct a full length one-act play on the mainstage during our One-Acts festival in January. This festival gets full technical support and is considered a part of our season of productions.
Examples of rehearsal process, directors’ one acts, and the Trip to London.
In addition to directing opportunities, we offer classes in acting, stage management, playwriting, script analysis, theater history and all technical fields, so that our directing students have a well-rounded and in-depth understanding of all disciplines in theater necessary for today’s director.

Goals and Opportunities
Our Design and Technology theater department offers a two-year program designed to prepare students to transfer to a four-year college, or to start working in the professional field as a technician or design assistant.
Each student will have the opportunity to develop their skills through design and technical classes and apply them to our main stage productions. Design students may assist a faculty or student designer on a main stage production and eventually design their own production as a Costume or Hair and Makeup Designer.
Although we mostly focus on live theater, all classes can be applied to other fields such as Film & Television, Theme Parks & Events, and Industrial design, which will be discussed through the course of the program.
The department of theater also participates at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) each year in all fields of Performance, Design, Technology, and Management. In the last few years, many of our design students have reached the regional and national finals.
Skills
Each student will be trained in Costumes, Hair, and Makeup and will acquire basic and advanced skills, such as: patterning and draping, costume construction, wardrobe, dyeing and distressing, costume history, hair and makeup, costume crafts, illustration, budgeting, portfolio, and career management. As we promote a multi-disciplinary approach, students are encouraged to take classes in multiple fields. (See our list of Degrees & Certificates)
Students are also introduced to an array of industry standard software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Costume Pro, Wild Ginger, and software for our fabric sublimation printer.

Testimonials
"Without the costume classes provided at ELAC, I would not have been able to further myself academically and in my career. I am where I am today and continue to grow because of them."
-Victoria, Costume Student
"I was fairly new to the wonderful world of theater and as a creative person I was able to explore the various facets of the artistry. The talented theater faculty at ELAC created an environment which provides students with the necessary tools to get ahead in the industry. The program has contributed in shaping my visual aesthetic and taught me high artistic standards and commitment to the craft."
-Roberto, Costume Student
"The best part about ELAC's costume design program, which I always tell everyone, is that it is hands on. Because of ELAC’s smaller student ratio, I think we all benefitted from being able to work on real professional shows every semester, which teaches so much more than just textbooks could ever. Being able to design real shows and not just drawings as assignments."
-Marisol, Costume Student
"Our mentor is the single most passionate person I have ever been taught by. She works to no end aiding the student and has created an inviting environment to work and create in. Each day we look forward to going to class and learning more and more from her."

Biography
A Mexican-American Scenic Designer born and raised in East Los Angeles, Efren Delgadillo Jr. is thrilled to join UC Irvine’s Department of Drama. Trained in Studio Arts at UCI, his love of architecture, materials, shapes and performance drew him to scenic design. Efren has worked as a designer across the U.S. as well as in Europe. Notable productions in New York include The Three Musketeers (The Acting Company); Mycenaean (BAM,Brooklyn Academy of Music); Open House (Foundry Theatre); and One thing I like to Say (Clubbed Thumb). Notable Regional theatre productions include American Mariachi (South Coast Rep.),(Arizona Theatre Company) Romeo and Juliet (Oregon Shakespeare Company); BLKS (Woolly Mammoth); Kings (South Coast Rep.); Bordertown Now (Pasadena Playhouse); Smart People and Indecent (Denver Center for the Performing Arts); Othello (Hartford Stage); DJ Latinidad (Mixed Blood Theatre); Mojada: A Medea in Los Angeles (The Getty Villa/Boston Court); Prometheus Bound (The Getty Villa/Center for New Performance); Shelter (Center for New Performance); The Sweetheart Deal (Los Angeles Theatre Center). His international work includes Laude in Urbis with Compagnia di Colombari in Orvieto, Italy, and Flamingo/Winnebago in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Throughout his collaborative career he has had the incredible honor of working with directors and artists including Nataki Garrett, Christopher Acebo, Dámaso Rodríguez, Diane Rodriguez, Jessica Kubzansky, Karin Coonrod, Melanie Joseph, Casey Biggs, Mark Valdez, Michael Michetti, Alex Torra, Jesse Bonnell, Travis Preston, Culture Clash, Thaddeus Phillips and Carl Hancock Rux. In New York, Efren has also worked with artists Ivo Van Hove, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Jo Bonney and JoAnne Akalaitis during his years as a technical director for New York Theatre Workshop.
As a company member and designer with Poor Dog Group, a contemporary performance collective based in Los Angeles, California, his designs with Poor Dog Group include Brewsie and Willie, Satyr Atlas, Dionysia, The Internationalist, Murder Ballad, Five Small Fires and Group Therapy. With SINTROCA, an image and performance based theatre company of which Efren is a co-founder, he brought projects to Edinburgh, Scotland, Montreal, Canada, New York and Los Angeles. SINTROCA productions include Moonshine and Peepshow at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival and Lasanta at Richard Foreman’s Ontological Hysteric Theatre in New York.
A recipient of LA weekly awards for both Production Design and Lighting design for Poor Dog Group’s Brewsie and Willie, Efren has also been nominated for an Ovation Award in Best Scenic Design for Culture Clash’s Bordertown Now as well as a Barrymore Award in Outstanding Scenic Design for Bienvenidos Blancos with Team Sunshine Corporation.
Efren earned an MFA in Scenic Design from California Institute of the Arts and a BFA in Studio Arts from University of California, Irvine. Previously he has lived and worked in Brooklyn, NY, Montreal, Quebec, and Los Angeles, CA. Prior to his time teaching at UCI, he was a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Scenic Design at Cal State Northridge and adjunct faculty at California Institute of the Arts.
Efren’s teaching style provides an inspirational learning environment that exposes the student to the interdisciplinary and collaborative process of design with the goal of teaching imagination, innovation, principles and tradition. He strives to instill a life-long love of learning and curiosity by creating a guided space for exploration. His teaching philosophy posits that wrong turns on the path to success are not failures, they are just iterations. Iterations informed by passion become the pathway for visual catharsis in the art of storytelling.
