DRAMA AT LMC: AN OVERVIEW FOR FALL 2007

Look at what’s in store for the LMC community, thanks to the fine talents of the Drama Department in the fall of 2007! Just about every good thing you can think of. Let’s start with our classes. We now have more classes and more variety than ever before. Our academic General Ed offerings are offered both face to face and online, either completely online or in part. Many are now being offered in Brentwood as well. This fall think about taking any of the following classes to fulfill numerous requirements. We offer Drama 15, Drama 16, Drama 30, Drama 70 and Drama 71.  As far as production classes we offer Drama 20, 21, 31 and 42 this semester. To learn more specific details about these great classes please visit http://www.losmedanos.edu/schedule/index.html

Want to act this fall? We have two fine productions going up this fall in our LMC Little Theatre. The first is part of the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read project. You might have heard of it? It is the brand new dramatization of  To Kill A Mockingbird. Directed by Barbara Norris, it promises to be fun and intense with a huge cast and a part for everyone. Please think about auditioning for this show in August!

Later in the semester we are producing a controversial play called Bee Luther-Hatchee directed by Casey Cann. Casey last directed The Vagina Monologues on our LMC stage. This time she tackles another interesting subject: does a white male author have the right and the voice to tell the tale of an African American woman?
