Theatre offerings at Columbia Basin College are designed:
- To meet the requirements for the first two years of a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre at four-year institutions.
- To enrich students learning experiences by having them work with state of the art technologies, performance methodologies and learning industry techniques.
- To provide extracurricular activity through performances for the college and community.
- To enrich the theatre going public in areas of Equity and Diversity.
Career opportunities include teaching theatre, professional acting, directing, designing, stage management and technical theatre. Theatre classes may also better prepare students for careers in law, public relations, advertising, teaching effectiveness and other careers where speaking or performing for the public is important. It is not necessary to be a theatre major to take theatre classes or to participate in CBC shows.
