San Joaquin Delta College has a two-year pre-professional training program for students interested in a career in the performing arts. The program is focused on both acting and technical theater training and is intended for both the transfer student and those who plan to go directly into the profession.

Enrollment in these classes requires an audition of a monologue, no more than four minutes in length followed by an interview. The audition and interview is intended to ascertain the student’s strengths.

In the first year of the program, students attend technical classes each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:30 p.m. until 1:50 p.m. and then the acting class from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Second year students attend Technical class each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:30 p.m. until 1:50 p.m. and Acting Class Monday through Friday from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Coursework in the Acting class includes Speech and Voice, Acting for the Camera, Shakespearean Acting, Styles of Acting, International Phonetic Alphabet, Audition Techniques and Improvisation.

Students are required to audition for each of our main stage productions for experience but may audition for experience only if rehearsals are in conflict with work or other classes. In addition to our main stage productions, we also produce two children’s theater productions, a summer production and small studio productions in both the fall and spring semesters.
