NEWS and UPDATES

Fall 2022 End of Semester Updates from ACC Drama!


Letter from the Chair

Well, we made it. To December and the end of the semester. I hope that you all are exhausted. I have certainly seen the evidence over the last couple of weeks. The folks in our department have been working tirelessly, and producing some wonderful pieces of art and scholarship. I’m quite amazed by what our performers, technicians, designers, faculty, and staff accomplished this fall. We had an amazing three week run of our fall production Fade. We ran two acting sections, a course on stage movement, and seven technical theater courses. We collaborated with Photography, RTF, Culinary Arts, Visual Communications, and Music Business Performance Technology on a range of cool projects. Faculty and students are working on shows beyond the college, making vital connections with local theater companies that will support students as they move beyond the nest. And we are applauding graduates this fall who will transfer to Texas State, UT, and St. Edward’s. Oh, and we are adding a Musical Theater Degree to our award offerings next Fall... A lot of work. A lot of good. 


I couldn’t be prouder of the community that we have here. The students are awesome, the faculty and staff are awesome. The new digs are awesome. I invite you to come see the fruits of all that awesome labor on Thursday December 8th.  Join us for Curtain Fall, our end of the semester showcase. It will be an evening of scenes, monologues, installation tours, and design exhibits from across the Drama Department. And there will be holiday treats for everyone!  


We are closing a great semester this week, but we are only half way through the year. I know. It sounds even more exhausting. But we will all enjoy a nice long break and come back ready for more in January. Please plan to come out for our spring production, The Snow in February. And plan to stick around for the summer musical production of The Mad Ones in June. There will be a lot of other great activities in between. Join us. We’re here!

The Austin Community College Drama Department is proud to announce our upcoming Spring 2023 production:



The Snow

by Finegan Kruckemeyer


When an epic snowfall imprisons the residents of the tiny village of Kishka, young Theodore Sutton proposes the villagers build a catapult to fling him and six of the village’s bravest and strongest out in search of a solution. The catapult hastily assembled, Theodore and the heroes are launched over the snow and into the grandest of adventures. Whimsical and humorous, dark and mysterious, heartfelt and sincere, this play weaves a fantastical Grimmsian tale for the entire family!
