Introduction
The Theatre Arts concentration in the Fine Arts degree program involves students in the study of acting, directing, design, lighting, and stagecraft in the beautiful and modern Boland Theatre in the Koussevitzky Arts Center. Theatre at BCC is “doing.” In addition to a comprehensive academic program, students are involved in every aspect of theatrical production, from lighting and costuming to acting and design. They receive college credit for their work. Three main-stage, full-scale productions are mounted each year, augmented by student-directed plays, giving newcomers and sophomores unparalleled opportunities. Experience is the key: what students learn in the classroom is immediately applied on stage.
Program graduates usually transfer to baccalaureate institutions where the experience, training, and academic discipline received at BCC are an excellent foundation for future work and theater study. Related majors at the baccalaureate level include communications, dance, mass communications, musical theatre, theatre-acting/technical, and TV/film program production.
