What Is Drama/Theatre?

The Drama program provides an immersive experience into the world of the theatre arts with opportunities for students to perform, design, build, and run theatrical productions.

Theatre opens a window into a better understanding of the human condition. Pursuing a degree in theatre arts provides many opportunities for students. Studying theatre can prepare students for a career in law, teaching, design, film, television, counseling, and many others. Studies have shown that a strong arts education empowers people to be high-performers in various fields of study and career paths. Exposure to theatre increases a person’s creativity levels, ability to collaborate, and critical thinking skills. Additionally, students will learn problem solving and increased motor skills.

Midland College students can participate onstage or backstage in Midland Community Theatre productions to expand their experience and background.

Midland College provides students the opportunity to study the subject and transfer to a 4-year university through its Drama/Theatre program.
