Opportunities

Opportunities for incorporating theatre into your Coe experience abound:

• Take a class or theatre lab
• Get involved with BLINDSPOT and OFF-STAGE PLAYERS
• Study off-campus
• Participate in one of our three main-stage productions.
• Share your talent in any number of student-directed or student generated productions.
• Write a play and get it produced by The City Dionysia
• Start your own improv group…

We encourage our students to take what they have learned in the classroom and test it with their peers on stage in the Mills Experimental Theatre or in the community schools with young people.

Chris Leyva ’01, has this to say about his theatre experiences at Coe:

“While I was concentrating on directing and writing, I stage managed a play and a huge musical, I performed in five plays, I edited sound cues and ran the sound board, I hung and focused lights.  I helped build sets and construct costumes for almost every production that was produced in my four years.”

See the people/alumni page to find out how Chris puts these kinds of opportunities into practice in his own work as a theatre artist today.
