Theatre

Degrees and Programs

Theatre at Northeast Community College is an exciting participation activity. In addition to theatre classes, through a cooperative agreement with the Norfolk Community Theatre and the production of an all-college play, students participate in a wide variety of experiences in the production of theatre. After earning an associate of arts degree in two years, students may either put their skills directly to work or transfer into a bachelor’s degree program at a four-year college.

As a Theatre major, students will develop performance and stage production skills. Students get several opportunities to participate in theatre annually (in an acting and/or technical capacity) with the Norfolk Community Theatre productions and the all-student College production. Opportunities include acting, stage management, and various crew positions, including lighting, set construction, costume construction, make-up, and props.
