Campus-Community Players
The Campus-Community
Players presents a wide variety of productions, including
classical work, new plays, musicals and sometimes family
oriented work. As a college theatre program, which also relies
on members of the community in its productions, the primary goal
of the program is the education of students. Many students have
gone on to professional careers in acting, directing,
playwriting, theatre education and theatrical production. This
aim of teaching and learning, requires a variety of theatrical
genres, periods and styles which reflect the current
contemporary theatre landscape. There are many opportunities to
get involved both onstage and off. New faces are always welcome!
