THEATRE
The stage reflects life
William Shakespeare wrote “All the world’s a stage …” At the CBC Arts Center, the department of Theatre is the place where our community can see what our future students will experience, and be a part of, in the stage called life. Our gifted directors work to provide our students many opportunities to learn and our own community benefits from this energy by being welcomed to the CBC Arts Center to attend a stage production or even participate themselves. From fall to summer, our theatrical ensembles are a gem of the area.
Theatre Is Not Complete without an audience
Performance Spaces
Located in the P Building on Pasco Campus, our performance spaces include a 292-seat intimate indoor theatre with a 3/4 thrust stage, an outdoor amphitheatre, and black box theatre. They are used by the college and community alike for concerts, lectures, meetings, and theatrical productions.
Summer Theatre
With 300 days of sun in the Columbia Basin, our theatre program capitalizes on the local weather and produces an annual Summer Showcase in our outdoor amphitheater. Every year, this is an exciting opportunity to share with our community what our program has to offer.
Immersive Theatre Instruction
If you are student or know a student seeking information about the higher education programs in theatre, please visit the Theatre Arts program page to get information on courses, performance opportunities, and scholarship opportunities.
Productions
The productions include plays, musicals, one-acts, read-thrus, and student directed plays. Our theatre department produces 3-5 plays and/or musicals annually, ranging from classics to modern titles.

Fall Play Auditions:
Dog Meets God by Bert V. Royal

Roles available for: All are welcome. 8 roles for high school/young adult age rage
Auditions will be cold reads from the script and some movement/storytelling improvisation.
Auditioners should come prepared with ALL, SPECIFIC, potential conflicts from Thursday, September 28-November 18.
Content Warning
Even though it is comedic, Dog Sees God engages mature topics and explicit language surrounding suicide, bullying, eating disorders, loss, sexuality, substance abuse, and homophobia.
Please make sure to check in with your mental health before auditioning, as there are many potential triggers in this script. We will take good care of you, but the story we are serving does touch on the above-mentioned themes and includes bullying slurs and behaviors.
