Welcome to the Mendocino College Theatre Arts Department. Our curriculum leads to  an AA degree with an emphasis in either Theatre or Dance. We offer courses in acting, dance, and technical theatre.  The program is closely allied to the music department which offers related courses in voice, opera and musical theatre.  The department has collaborative relationships with the Ukiah Players TheatreUkiah Civic Light Opera, and S.P.A.C.E.(Near & Arnold's School of Performinmg Arts and Cultural Education). In addition, our students often work with other local theatre companies, including and The Willits Community Theatre.   The Mendocino College Theatre Arts Department is a member of the Arts Council of Mendocino County and works to promote the arts in our communities.
