"What better way to start out in a career that
involves so much than to start at a place that's very nurturing - that has a
small class size, and that has instructors that actually care about their
students - if you start out in a smaller place like this, you do build that
confidence.
I believe that LCC was the best starting off point that I
could have asked for."
-Sarah McComber, former LCC student
Where the Stage is the Classroom
To step out on stage in character, in costume, in front of an audience, is a risk - and offers a reward - unlike any other human endeavor. The Theatre Program at Lansing Community College is dedicated to nourishing these aspirations and providing these experiences for our students.
Offering an Associate in Applied Arts degree in Theatre, students study acting for four semesters at Lansing Community College. They are then encouraged to transfer to a four-year college or university to continue their training. LCC's theatre curriculum is known as "The Studio Program." It offers training in Characterization, Voice, Movement, Improvisation, Script Analysis, and Shakespeare.
