A conservatory atmosphere without the attitude In the Theatre Arts & Dance Department at RRCC, it is our mission to provide students with expert handson training paired with in-depth scholarly study. We achieve this through courses offered in multiple areas of performing arts, award-winning productions, and job-skill training opportunities for students who are interested in personal enrichment or pursuing a professional career in theatre arts and dance.
Degrees We offer two degree options. You may choose your emphasis within the degree. Associate of Arts (AA) Emphasis in Theatre Arts Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Emphasis in Theatre Technology For a detailed list of required courses for each degree or certificate, email theatre@rrcc.edu.
