program aimed at developing acting, directing and technical skills
necessary for transfer to a four-year university or to a professional
training school. In addition, classes for personal enrichment are
available.

and technical theatre. You will receive training in character
development, rehearsal technique, monologue and scene study, audition
preparation, voice and movement, stage direction, script analysis
and technical theatre. The Citrus College Little Theatre offers
an intimate venue for developing and practicing your skills before
live audiences.
The Theatre Arts Department puts on two full-length productions
a year, as well as a Christmas show and the popular Summer Dinner
Theatre program. In spring 2002, students in a Citrus production
of “Our Country’s Good” were selected for performance
consideration at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. In Spring

Our Teeth”. The full production may be performed in Spring
