Theatre/Digital Film Curriculum
The Theatre/Digital Film curriculum is designed to give majors a thorough exposure to all aspects of the theatre arts and digital video. Each student works closely with faculty to plan course work that will transfer to a four-year college. Transfer students from the Theatre/Digital Film program do well in a university setting because of the broad general education they receive at Pierce College. Therefore, it is the philosophy of this department to offer a sequential program in which the student can emphasize "backstage” as well as “on stage” with the integration of a digital video experience.
