Saunders listens to Maria's saucy dialogue. The theatre program at NCCC is designed to give students of theatre a broad background in the theatre arts, to be well versed in the world of the theatre, and to participate in all facets of production. While the program is designed for students preparing to obtain a degree and continue study in liberal arts, classes are also open to those wanting to survey a course. Auditions are always open to all members of the community and surrounding areas. We offer a four-show season each year.
Students study under a professional actor and director.
Students work with talented members of the community. Chanute has a very active community theater, which brings 25 years of experience to the community. Students often work along side community members with strong theatrical skills. Theatre History, Voice and Diction, Workshop Production, Acting, Stagecraft, and Reader's Theater are only a few of the classes offered in our department. We perform at least one show per year at the newly restored Munincipal Auditorium.
