About Us

The Richland Theatre Department offers training in theatrical and cinematic arts. Our award winnig faculty and staff will instruct you through in-depth classroom study and hands-on practical experience in acting, musical theatre, the design and technical arts, and improvisation.

In addition to class work, you have the opportunity to participate in four productions, performed in both our main stage Performance Hall and black box Arena Theatre spaces.

Students can interact with a wide network of Richland College theatre alums who are working in the entertainment industry as performers, designers, technicians, and theatre educators.

The Richland Theatre Department provides a state of the art sound system and robotic lighting, so students get real world training in all phases of production.

Actively participating in the collaborative nature of theatre and film will develop your abilities to communicate effectively and work within a group dynamic, both essential skills in our global workplace.
