Drama Program Overview
The Del Mar Drama Program offers an Associate of Arts in Drama degree. Led by a professional faculty, the program strives to teach the art and craft of theatre through productions and live entertainment events in several different performance venues including the recently opened Sue Sellors Finley Theatre. The program offers five to seven productions annually. Drama students, through their Drama faculty advisor, can cater their experience by emphasizing in one of three program areas: Performance, Design and Technology, or General Education. The Drama Program offers a full range of lower division courses, from several levels of acting, movement, and voice, to scenery, costume, and makeup design and technology, and new courses including stage lighting, stage rigging and special effects. It is the goal of the Drama Program to provide a basic, general theatre education, preparing students for transfer to a four-year degree-granting institution, or entry-level position in the industry.
