CCM Drama Senior Showcase 2012

Interested in Conservatory-style BFA training
in a small and friendly program
in a world class setting?         Read on . . .

The Drama Department at CCM is recognized nationwide for its quality and history of training successful young actors. Our "first-rate BFA program in acting" (Backstage) creates graduates who are following careers in theatre, fim, television, and in national media. It is widely recognized for its intensive training and comprehensive Conservatory approach to training the whole actor.

Dramatic performance training at CCM includes:

  • A rigorous acting curriculum that includes intensive Viewpoints and Suzuki training, and intensive training in the Meisner, Morris, and Chekhov techniques.
  • A dedicated voice production sequence, including work in Alba Emoting, and intensive dialect and voice-over work.
  • A dedicated movement for the actor sequence, including a full year of Stage Combat with an SAFD certified Fight master.
  • Showcases that bookend the training experience: a Freshman Showcase presented in Cincinnati and a Senior Showcase presented for agents and casting directors in New York and Los Angeles.
  • A comprehensive performance season with four dramas and a festival of student created new works presented in a variety of performance spaces.

The 2011-2012 school year will be the 28th year of training actors who earn the BFA in Dramatic Performance degree from the College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) at the University of Cincinnati.

In our 28 year history we have welcomed actors from around the country to Ohio, from Kentucky and Minnesota and Texas and Georgia and  Florida and California and Maine and Mississippi and Missouri and Arizona and Iowa and New York and New Jersey and Georgia and Pennsylvania. These actors found what they were looking for in our BFA program and chose to study in Cincinnati in our exciting program.

We are a busy school. The actors in our program are busy. We would have it no other way. We play hard, we train voraciously, and we reach for the stars.

If you are interested in CCM Drama applications will become available on-line September 1, 2011 and are due by December 1. Please explore the additional Drama pages to learn all you can about one of the most exciting Drama programs in the country.

We love actors.

CCM Drama produced the Regional Premiere of CORAM BOY in October. Based on the novel by Jamila Gavin, the exciting adaptation by Helen Edmundson boasted a record setting cast of 53 on the stage of the Patricia Corbett Theatre. Enjoy watching this video from our award winning production.
