Commonwealth Theatre Center
About
One of the nation's top theatre programs specializing in the training of young people for the stage or any acting or backstage career.
Alumni are welcomed at the top post-secondary theatre programs, and have gone on to successful, acclaimed careers in film (Jennifer Carpenter, Dexter and others), Broadway (Adam Brown, Once and others), stagecraft, and performing arts leadership.
in 2017 the company will become the first conservatory theatre program to fully produce the entire canon of Shakespeare's plays. We will be joining just a handful of theatre companies nationwide to have marked this accomplishment.
Conservatory students are involved in extracurricular theatre classes and they audition for a full season of professionally-produced plays, from the Greeks to Shakespere to modern classics and contemporary world premieres. Actors also have the chance to work alongside our professional company of actors and with alumni/conservatory co-productions.
