Studying theatre at Southwestern provides other advantages. Because a community college embraces students of many ages and backgrounds, it offers a real-world theatre experience not easily found at four-year institutions. Low student-teacher ratios ensure personalized instruction and generous performance opportunities. The savings are considerable and reduce the overall cost of a degree, especially important for a student who plans a professional career in theater.

Southwestern also provides tuition-waiver talent scholarships for qualified applicants. Contact theatre department director Rob Clingan at rclingan@socc.edu for more information.
