WELCOME TO THE DEPARTMENT OF FILM AND THEATRE

Our two major programs (Radio-TV-Film and Theatre Arts) prepare students for careers as actors, performers, directors, script writers, producers, designers, technicians, managers, and scholarly/critical writers.

We offer training and experience in radio, television, film, and theatre production as well as courses in the history, scholarship, and aesthetics of these media. The department creates short and feature films through Spartan Film Studios, a full season of stage productions, and other faculty, staff, and student production projects. Students can participate in the department’s full-time radio station, KSJS 90.5, which provides entertainment, sports, and community service to the Bay Area. 

Please explore this website to learn more about Film and Theatre at SJSU, our rich curricular offerings, our active production program, and our accomplished students, faculty, and staff.  For a tour of our facilities click here, and be sure to check out our one-sheets for more information on our major pathways, minors, and extra-cirricular opportunities

CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION

• Written by Annie Baker
  Directed by Scott Cummins

• DECEMBER 2-4, 2021 | 7:30 pm each night

  When four lost New Englanders who enroll in Marty’s six-week-long community-center drama class begin to experiment with harmless games, hearts are quietly torn apart, and tiny wars of epic proportions are waged and won. A beautifully crafted diorama, a petri dish in which we see, with hilarious detail and clarity, the antic sadness of a motley quintet.
