CCM Drama students study acting, voice production, and movement for the actor to learn techniques to create characters in the classroom, in rehearsals, in productions, and when hired professionally in theatre, film, and television.For tools to be useful they must be used regularly.
CCM Drama students are always acting.
CCM Drama students perform in lab productions and informal settings and showcases at CCM, in Studio productions in the Cohen Family Studio Theatre, and in Mainstage productions in the Patricia Corbett Theatre. We sometimes partner with theatres in the Cincinnat areai and present co-productions, like our current collaboration with the Carnegie Theatre in Covington, Kentucky, and students work professionally in town whenever they can.
CCM Drama presents TRANSMIGRATION: A Festival of Student Created New Works in February every year, giving every student in the department the opportunity to experience the process of creating and producing new work as an ensemble. Actors write, direct, produce, and act in original productions created by teams in various venues throughout CCM, often collaborating with musicians or dancers or students from our E-Media division.
In is not uncommon to see CCM Drama students in productions at the Human Race Theatre Co. in Dayton, at the Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati,at the KNOW Theatre, and in the Cincinnati Fringe Festival.
Our production season is integrated with our curriculum, so all students have the opportunity to perform regularly.
