TH-113 Theatre and Social Change: This course introduces students to the applied and interdisciplinary practice of theatre and social change. Students will learn how practitioners engage practice and theory locally and globally to support change in individuals, communities, and systems. Students will explore theatre and social change projects which aspire to illuminate patterns of oppression and resistance while gathering communities to bear witness and reflect. Students will analyze the impact of these artists and their actions in supporting transformation that is reflexive and sustainable.

Transfer Articulation Agreements
Students graduating with an Associate’s degree are extremely attractive to 4-year colleges. Colleges that may have been out-of-reach financially or academically after high school, now seek to fill vacated seats in the junior year, with many offering substantial scholarships.
Before you transfer, graduate. Completing your Associate Degree first, ensures your courses & credits have lifetime value. If you transfer before you graduate, your community college credits will be evaluated course by course reducing the chances that your courses & credits will transfer.
