Mission
Statement
The
theatre at SSC devotes itself through classes, training, and practice
to educating students in all aspects of the craft, from acting, directing,
and stagecraft to its history and literature, and then back again to the
play. The program amply prepares theatre majors for university work upon
graduation. Since talent does not discriminate, we encourage students
of all disciplines to seek out courses and productions in which they may
unlock their hidden talents as they journey with us in the art of drama
and in the world of theatre.
