Located on the Rio Grande Campus, with certain classes being offered at the
Northridge, South Austin, and Round Rock campuses, Austin Community College Drama Program
provides students with the first two years of college drama education.
Please see the catalog for complete degree requirements.
Our non-traditional and diverse population creates a lively atmosphere in which to study. Degreed and non-degreed, beginning and advanced, students representative of all levels of drama come to ACC to learn all aspects of the theater.
Our class size creates an opportunity for students to get the attention they need and offers a unique, nurturing environment in which students can flex their creative muscles.
ACC’s two-year program is an in-depth study without the commitment of a four-year or graduate degree. Students not seeking a degree often retake classes as they explore the many options ACC offers.
ACC productions in both the 250-seat Mainstage Theater and the 70-seat Gallery Theater offer drama students the opportunity to perform onstage, work tech and design positions, and collaborate with other artists from the community.
