academic programs
our classes
We have an exciting variety of theatre and cinema arts classes, an A.A. degree in theatre, a one-of-a-kind technical theater certificate program, and a full production calendar of mainstage plays. Our program in Theatre and Cinema Arts at Folsom Lake College has staked a prominent position in the performing and visual arts in the region.
Besides offering an associated arts degree in theater, the college also offers a technical theater certificate. Part of the technical program includes students working with professionals when touring shows come to the main-campus facility, gaining journeyman type experience. When they graduate with a certificate, they'll be prepared to begin union apprenticeship programs.
