The Pomona College Theatre Program for The Claremont Colleges serves students from the five undergraduate colleges. It offers courses in acting, design, directing, theatre history, dramatic literature, and the practice of theatre.
Students majoring in theatre become proficient in bringing creative solutions to complex problems.
They also develop sensitivity to the interpersonal relationships inherent in the collaborative process. Thus, they are prepared for a wide variety of careers in organizations and enterprises that value these qualities. While encouraging such development in all its students, the department also prepares majors for further study on either the graduate or professional level. Many department graduates have become successful members of the professional community as actors, designers, writers, teachers, and administrators. The department presents several major productions each year, casting from the student body at large, as well as from theatre majors.
