Want to be an actor, actress or theater producer? Are you a drama queen? Learn all the professional and technical skills whether on the front side of the camera or the backside of the curtain.

The Theater program at Umpqua Community College offers both technical and dramatic disciplines that enhance the dreams of the stage.
