Goals

Our faculty members are involved in the professional community and have the interest of the students at heart and are committed to: 



Provide an equitable and safe environment for students to explore their artistic voices that supports and reflects our diverse community.Empower our students with both theory and practice for all aspects of the theater process.Give students mainstage opportunities, which are otherwise unavailable to undergraduates and 
create opportunities for students to flex their artistic muscles both on stage and off from process to production.Prepare students for the professional world by introducing them to a multitude of techniques, theories, and practices.&#38;nbsp;Provide access to industry jobs through internships and direct referrals.&#38;nbsp;



Facilities
The Department of Theater Arts is part of the East Los Angeles College Campus. We are located in a new facility constructed in 2012. Our two theaters (proscenium and blackbox), costume shop, scene shop, and classrooms offer access to state of the art equipment, under faculty supervision. The students interested in technical theater will have the opportunity to train on our fabric printer, CNC router, laser cutter, and an array of industry standard equipment.Student-performers will also benefit from large rehearsal rooms, performance spaces and dressing rooms specifically designed to support their learning experience.
