Theatre

Over the past two decades, the GTCC Theatre Program has presented plays ranging from tragedies such as the classic Greek play Oedipus the King to modern comedies such as The Odd Couple.  Part of the Creative & Performing Arts Department, the theatre program is housed in the Koury Hospitality Careers Center building on the GTCC Jamestown campus.  Theatre facilities include the Fine Arts Theatre (modified black box space with 84 seats), Costume Shop, Scene Shop, Dressing Rooms, Rehearsal Hall, Prop and Scene storage spaces, and dressing rooms.

One of the key goals of the program is to engage and inspire students to become active participants in the theatre arts.  Courses offered range from acting and vocal training classes to production-oriented courses such as stagecraft and costuming. Graduates have gone on to careers in every aspect of the theatre profession.

We are proud to announce that the Spring 2012 GTCC Theatre campus production will be Eugene O'Neill's famous play, Moon for the Misbegotten.  The production will run March 22-24, 29-31. Tickets will go on sale in February.
