Take professional acting classes for the stage and camera, learn theatre design, and develop skills in screen and playwriting -- all with an Associate of Arts degree in Theatre from CNM.
Outside of our faculty and student-run productions at the Coal Avenue Theatre (CAT), the CNM Theatre department also runs acting and design classes at the Vortex Theatre, offering you an actual theatre atmosphere for your work. We hold open auditions for student shows at the Vortex Theater in the Fall and Spring terms.
With the evolution of the film industry here in New Mexico, the demand for local technical and performing artists has increased considerably. Our Theatre students often find opportunities on local shoots and producing their own films. The local theatre scene has been growing as well, gaining national attention. There are now more thriving theatres in Albuquerque than ever before.
The CNM Theatre Department has a staff that is well-connected, well-informed, and in a position to guide students who are interested in pursuing the performing arts. We invite you to join us in the dynamic Albuquerque performing arts arena. For more information, email [email protected].
