Mission Statement

MISSION STATEMENT 

The focus of the Theatre Program is to establish a strong foundation in the fundamentals of professional theatre-making. This program is

designed to provide hands-on training where students can learn their craft experientially. Upon completion of the program, students will be

prepared to transfer to a four-year institution and/or begin working professionally. A rigorous course of study that prepares students for the

competitive demands of the professional world is met with an inclusive, safe, and nurturing space for artistic exploration and personal growth.

By instilling professional artistic values, it is our goal to develop graduates will be able to transfer the skills, tools, and techniques acquired in the program to a full and well-rounded life. Bristol Theatre graduates will be able to think critically, solve problems effectively, collaborate, listen actively and empathetically, and go on to pursue a wide range of academic, artistic, and/or professional endeavors either within the entertainment industry or in other fields.
